Traditional dishes

We were thrilled to not only learn about the culture and historical places but also get a taste of the local cuisine at a lively bazaar. We were blown away by the array of traditional foods and had a blast trying them all! The dishes were mainly based on sticky rice and brown sugar, and they also had an impressive selection of noodle and chicken specialties. 

I may not remember all the names, but I'll never forget the flavors! All of them so masarap food ! I'll try to mention some of the food at the bazaar, such as tupig, halo-halo, kutsinta, suman, dudol, puto, chicken adobo, chicken innasal, ubee, pancit canton, pancit malabon, pancit palabok, and lumpia! 

As an Indonesian, I'm actually quite familiar with the flavors and names of the food, and there are so many similarities between Philippine food and Indonesian food! The cooking methods are slightly different, but it was still a new and unique flavor. The food bazaar was held in two places: Urdaneta Campus and Tayug Campus. Thanks to these two bazaars, I got to have my favorite foods from the Philippines, namely puto and ube!
