Must-Try Local Food & Drinks
Because travel memories taste better with good food & a cold beer.

If you’re vegetarian, don’t miss Laing (taro leaves in coconut milk) or Pancit Canton (Filipino noodles) or Monggo Curry Tofu or Teriyaki Bowl, all hearty, flavorful, and easy to find in local eateries.
For non-veg foodies, classics like Chicken Adobo and Lechon (roast pork) are the real deal when it comes to comfort and celebration.
Snack like a local with Banana Cue (deep-fried caramelised bananas on a stick) or Turon (crispy banana spring rolls) and an Ice-cream Bun.
Pair it all with an ice-cold San Miguel Pale Pilsen or the stronger Red Horse Beer, the ultimate Filipino backpacker combo.
