Best Filipino Snacks


My absolute favorite is sampalok (tamarind)
Dried shredded squid is so tasty, downfall is the smell.
The Cebu dried mangoes cant compare to the ones here in the US.
Watermelon seeds... I love these!
Ensaymada is the best microwaved.
Polvorone, authentic!

Siopao

Have you ever had SIOPAO?
If you haven't, I think you should go get some now!

Siopao is a Minnan term for baozi, literally meaning Sio =Hot Pao=Bun (steamed buns). It is also calledsalapao in Thailand.

It is a popular food item in the Philippines. It does not require utensils to eat and can be consumed on-the-go. Like baozi, there are several siopao stuffing varieties which could be either Asado or bola-bola that may use pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, eggs, and possibly chopped scallions and water chestnuts as well.

Outside of the Philippines, many Filipino restaurants offer variants of siopao with local ingredients ranging from Spam and canned pineapple in Hawaii, to haute cuisine concoctions involving foie gras and truffles

I recently got some with my husband, we got chicken BBQ ones from a Filipino store.
It was pretty good, but nothing like the ones Ive had before can compare.
I really love Filipino food.
