Essential Pinoy Food Culture

Filipinos are rice lovers. It’s a staple in almost every household. In fact, "unlimited rice" is a common promotional offer in many Davao food destinations. That is how passionate we are about rice. If you are a certified foodie, the Philippines' culinary culture will thrill you because there are so many cuisines to try and pair up with the Filipinos’ love for rice.

This July, get to experience the best of a Staycation Resort in Davao with some of the most appealing staple food in the Filipino culture. Malagos Garden Resort’s July promo is here to warm you up as the raindrops so do the price drops!

Binignit

Binignit is a coconut milk-based stew of fruits and tubers. The Visayas region of the Philippines is where this Filipino dish originated. It's quite similar to Ginataang Halo-halo, with the exception that the latter includes sticky rice balls or bilo-bilo as a component.

Different regions may use different ingredients. One thing is certain: this dish is approved by your neighborhood Davao Food Guide. And it is a favorite meal during the Lenten season where Filipino Catholics abstain from eating meat but need a lot of energy for the day. This meal keeps your energy high and keeps you warm for the gloomy rainy days of July.

Chicken Lomi

Chicken Lomi is a Filipino noodle soup with chicken. The broth in this kind of chicken soup is thicker than the regular ones. This is achieved with a raw egg, giving it a texture similar to egg drop soup. By tradition, chicken lomi is the ultimate food typical Filipina grandmas would cook for their grandchild who is sick. That is because of the nutritional aspect of the food serving a high amount of protein and vegetables. 

The flavor of the meal is what makes it one of the essential dishes in the market. It has a balanced flavor of chicken and a nice thick texture plus it is quick and easy to prepare. These are exactly the necessary qualities for a lazy rainy day. The cook could easily prepare this hearty dish, and your grumbling tummy will be full in no time.

Beef Mami

Beef Mami is a kind of Filipino-Chinese beef noodle soup. This dish is made up of soft beef brisket, egg noodles, boiled eggs, and other garnishes that have been steeped in delicious beef stock. The egg noodles serve as a substitute for rice in some cases especially if one is on a ‘no rice diet. The significant taste of beef captures the Filipino culture of salt tasty food since one may have the option to add soy sauce, fish sauce, pepper, and calamondin to personal taste. 

The slowly cooked tender pieces of beef melt directly as it touches your mouth. Add the warm beef broth that would run down your cold tummy to make that rainy weather of July a seemingly bright and sunny Monday.
