My Top 10 Favorite Recipes
My family meals are mostly the simple and basic afritada, adobo or sinigang but I certainly do not shy away from the balut, the isaw, and the Adidas that make the Filipino cuisine unique. One of the dishes I terribly miss from home is ginisang camaro or sauteed crickets in tomatoes. Yes, crickets. Browse my favorite recipes!

Filipino Pork Barbecue
I have made this recipe a few times for family gatherings… always a hit! The dipping sauce takes it to the next level! Ty for sharing, Aloha.

Sinantomas
I'm not a good cook!! But this one came out really delicious!!! Had compliments from family for the first time

Adobong Itlog
“Hi Ms. Lalaine! This recipe is so simple yet so delicious. My family loves it!”
Oven-Roasted Pig Head
“Oh my…I bought a pig's head to make brawn, and then thought I would find another recipe to try. Your recipe was awesome. Easy to do, although a long cooking time it was well worth the wait. Meat was absolutely divine, moist, and easy to pull apart. The crackling was just so amazing. Thank you.”
