Corn tortilla chips topped with nacho cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, and pickled jalapenos. $9
Senor Sisig, SF Street Food Festival 2013, San Francisco CA
This time I asked for “light” nacho cheese, and it was SO much better. I usually like plenty of nacho cheese but there are so many other flavors in these nachos that you really don’t need a lot of the cheese to dominate everything. Definitely as calorie splurge for lunch.
Chicken thighs, garlic fried rice, tomatoes, flour tortilla. $8.75
Papalote Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
This is one of the best Mexican-Filipino fusion food items I’ve tried thus far. I loved that they used chicken thighs instead of breast to keep it more authentic. It’s packed with flavor and the burrito and pretty big. Mmm…
Sweet cured pork, egg, tater tots, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, and Hula Verde sauce. $9.50
Hula Truck, San Francisco CA
This Filipino burrito was really tasty! I loved the flavor of the pork tocino, and everything else added to the flavor party in my mouth. Albeit, this wasn’t the healthiest thing to eat, but it certainly filled me up with goodness during lunchtime.
Served with garlic fried rice. 2-item combo $11.29
Inay Filipino Kitchen, San Francisco CA
Ugh, Filipino food is so delicious and comforting! This is one of my guilty lunch pleasures since it’s not the healthiest food for you. It certainly tastes great though, hehe!
Half pork, half chicken. Platter $40
Tapsilog Bistro, Campbell CA
Took this tray to a party down in the South Bay and of course it was a hit! Everyone loves lumpia. 🙂 I though the tray containing 110 pieces was also decently priced.
Served with garlic fried rice. 2-item combo $10.49
Inay Filipino Kitchen, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love Filipino food for lunch especially when they drench the garlic fried rice with adobo sauce. Somehow I never get full and always want more. That’s why I go to the gym, lol!

Mmm, this was very good. Pork sisig is delicious on its own, but apparently it also great in nachos, lol! This is total comfort food.
Skewer with Ma’s calamansi bbq sauce. Served with garlic fried rice. 2-item combo $9.75
Inay Filipino Kitchen, San Francisco CA
Filipino food is so comforting! It’s fatty and salty and super unhealthy, but boy does it taste good! I liked the pork adobo and garlic rice especially with more adobo sauce poured on top. The chicken skewer had a good flavor, but it was a little dry.

Grilled pork marinated in savory Filipino adobo sauce, served over rice with cucumbers and onions. $11.99
Go Bistro, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
Meh, this tasted only faintly like pork adobo. That’s probably a good thing because the pork was more lean and less salty than regular adobo. The dish was more reminiscent of a Filipino adobo and an actual example of one. I probably wouldn’t order it again.
I went to a niece Maya’s 1st birthday party and of course there was plenty of Filipino food. They got a local restaurant to cater it and the food was pretty good. I don’t even know what everything was (I’m such a bad Filipino, lol), but I ate everything! 🙂

6″ corn tortilla, onions, lettuce and cilantro cream sauce. $3
Senor Sisig, SF Street Food Festival 2013, San Francisco CA
Ugh! I was really excited to try the sisig taco because I’ve read quite a bit about this food truck. I was sadly disappointed because the pork had an odd flavor and it was WAY too tart. I love sisig, but this didn’t do it for me. Perhaps their burritos are better, but then again it’s the same sisig filling inside. 😦

Stewed oxtail in peanut soup, with Chinese long beans, eggplant, and bok choy. $12.95
Tastebuds, San Bruno CA
Hmm, this wasn’t my favorite preparation of this dish. I think the peanut stew was thicker than I prefer and there wasn’t enough oxtail. A bit disappointing.
Steamed rice. $1.75
Bagoong alamang (fermented shrimp paste) is a condiment typically served with this dish. It’s super salty and I enjoy it, but it’s definitely an acquired taste.
