Sapin-Sapin literally means “layers” in Filipino, referring to its distinct bands of purple, yellow, and white. It’s a steamed glutinous rice 🍚 cake (kakanin), soft and chewy, often topped with latik (toasted coconut 🥥 curds) or grated coconut. Its vibrant appearance makes it a centerpiece dessert at fiestas, birthdays, and holidays.

Sapin-Sapin is believed to have originated in Abra, a province in Northern Luzon, though it has spread widely across the Philippines 🇵🇭 Traditionally, it was reserved for special occasions because of the labor-intensive process of steaming and layering each section.

Each layer usually carries a different flavor and color:

Purple (ube) – earthy, sweet, and iconic in Filipino desserts.
Yellow (jackfruit or langka) – fruity and fragrant.
White (coconut milk) – rich and creamy base.
Sometimes condensed milk or sugar is added for sweetness, and latik provides a nutty contrast.

For Filipino Americans, sapin-sapin often carries nostalgia for family gatherings, fiestas, and balikbayan boxes, reminding them of the communal spirit of Filipino culture. #kakanin #merienda #riceislife #filipinofood

Filipino spaghetti is instantly recognizable as “party food” by Filipinos worldwide. Heavily Influenced by America during the post-war era and when tomato sauce became scarce local Filipinos adapted it to local tastes by using Banana Ketchup and sugar, creating the iconic sweetness...
Foreigners often find the sweetness surprising, but it’s exactly what makes it uniquely Filipino. Red hotdogs (a Filipino staple) and grated cheddar became the signature toppings, making it festive and kid-friendly. It’s the star of birthdays, fiestas, and Christmas gatherings — a dish that signals celebration. It represents Filipino adaptability - taking something foreign and making it distinctly local. #filipinospaghetti #pinoyfood #filipinofood #partyfood

Soft, chewy, and subtly sweet — Puto Calasiao is one of the Philippines’ most iconic bite‑sized kakanin. Originating from Calasiao, Pangasinan, this mini rice cake is made through a unique fermented rice batter that gives it its signature bouncy texture and addicting flavor.

If you’ve ever driven through Pangasinan, you already know: the Calasiao Public Market is the OG spot. Rows of stalls selling freshly steamed puto in white, ube, pandan, and cheese — all packed warm in plastic tubs. But the best part? It’s available year‑round, thanks to the town’s long tradition of continuous production.

✨ Fun fact:
Calasiao’s puto makers use a heirloom starter (a fermented rice mixture passed down through generations). Some families have kept the same starter alive for decades — giving their puto a flavor you literally can’t replicate anywhere else.

If you’re craving it outside Pangasinan, you’ll often find “Puto Calasiao” stalls in Manila’s weekend markets, provincial pasalubong centers, and Filipino food fairs. But nothing beats tasting it right where it was born.

If you’ve ever cracked open a fresh buko on a hot day, you already know—it hits different. 

Young coconut water is a Filipino 🇵🇭 superfood packed with electrolytes, potassium, and antioxidants that support hydration, recovery, and everyday wellness. A true cultural staple and one of the best natural hydrators in the tropics. 

Thank you to @coastboracay for keeping me and the family fully hydrated during our stay in Boracay!

Not every Filipino dish is my favorite 🫣 but sometimes I’m encouraged by @kasen.eats willingness to try new foods.

This dish is known as Ginataang Suso 🐌 (or ginataang kuhol) it is a traditional Filipino dish made of freshwater snails simmered in coconut 🥥 milk, often spiced with ginger 🫚 garlic 🧄 and chili 🌶️ It originates from rural communities, especially in Bicol, and is enjoyed with rice as a main dish or appetizer.

Would you try it? Have you eaten this before? Share your experience in the comments!

We moved our family of four from California to Manila in 2022. We didn’t move for work — we quit our jobs and went all‑in on content creation. Sharing our journey through YouTube and social media.

Since then, we’ve learned what it really takes to move abroad. We’ve learned a lot about ourselves. Our kids have discovered new things. And we’ve explored Southeast Asia together.

We do have insurance BUT coverage is strictly for emergency visits and inpatient services. When we get mildly sick, we use telemedicine through an app (similar to in the U.S.) we can pay with a foreign credit card and my prescriptions are sent directly to me via the app. Overall it’s definitely less expensive than what I remember it being in California and we get exactly what we need to get better. 

I’ve suffered with sinus and allergy issues my whole life and I definitely can tell when I’ve got a sinus infection. So it’s incredibly convenient to use telemedicine. My experiences with the healthcare system here have all been incredibly positive - I’ve even had my appendix removed at the local hospital in BGC. I realize it may not be the same for everyone but just wanting to share my experience. Thanks for watching!!

Chef Miggy just teamed up with Marriott Manila to bring flavors of zambasulta (Zamboanga - Basilan - Sulu - Tawi Tawi) to their buffet! You can now enjoy these dishes and more throughout the entire month of April on Wednesdays and Thursdays at the Manila Marriott Hotel. You might even catch a minute or two with Chef Miggy himself 😋 

I recommend starting off with the Belachan Manok 🍗 with a side of the coconut rice and then move on to the Tiyula Itum - finish all of the broth!

Pastel de Camiguin (literally “Camiguin cake”) is a soft bread bun 🍞 with a creamy yema custard filling. The name comes from the Spanish 🇪🇸 word pastel, meaning “cake,” reflecting the Philippines’ colonial culinary influences.

The recipe was conceived by Eleanor Popera Jose and her family in Camiguin, a small island province in Northern Mindanao. It was first sold commercially on January 8, 1990, when Eleanor used her husband’s Christmas bonus to start a bakery business called VjANDEP Pastel (Virgilio Jose AND Eleanor Popera).

For Filipinos worldwide 🗺️ pastel can evoke childhood memories of balikbayan boxes, family reunions, or trips back to the Philippines.

Pastel de Camiguin is not just a pastry—it’s a story of family entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and Filipino 🇵🇭sweetness ✨ #filipinofood #merienda #pastries #travelphilippines
