I’m a huge fan of Filipino food. Street food in the Philippines is some of my favourite because a lot of it is so different interesting, and tasty.
As a foreigner in the Philippines…Why go to a Filipino restaurant when you can get delicious Pinoy street food, and be eating Balut, Isaw, and other strange foods? Manila especially is great for this!

Just a few days before getting my Kalinga Tattoo from Whang Od in Buscalan we visited an Igorot village elder to get his permission to visit his ancestors at a hanging coffin site in Sagada. He was smoking a very important type of Igorot food called Etag. Etag is used in ceremonies in this part of the Philippines, I was interested in trying it because the traditional way of preserving it, invited maggots, beatles and all other sorts of insects into the process.

I’m so happy I was able to spend such quality time with Lakay Wa-Ow, try on his ceremonial necklace, and also buy his Etag.

I’m excited to share the second part at Amir’s Birthday Party. Stay tuned!

Inspired by the Best ever food review show and their various interesting Filipino travel vlogs about foods like Catching and eating Wild Tamilok in Palawan…. Is this Philippines Strangest or Scariest Food?

Where are my Filipino and Filipina subscribers at!? Would you try this?

  1. A problem with the Philippines is that you really have to go into the deep provinces to find the full culture. I mean my mom who lived in the Philippines for 20+ years knows 0 to none about our mythology and original cultural practices.

    It's sad to see it slowly fade away especially with my generation mainly going abroad and forgetting Tagalog or our provincial dialects.

  2. There is no better culture on planet than India's. Bharata is a land of salvation and luckiest are those who are born here. All rules as per Indian culture are Dharma synchronized with natural laws. This is followed in each universe again and again.

  3. Apatani Tribe of Arunachal Pradesh India has similar eating habit when it comes preserving pork and save the same pork for special occasions…

  4. I personally know of a story of an Irishman travelling to Mountain Province with his Filipino friends some years ago. When he met with a very old local (a relative of his friends) who offered his home for them to spend the night with, the Irishman saw the making of the etag. He then said that he was reminded of a part of their own culture where they do something quite similar, though different to a bird's meat; i.e. smoking, drying under the sun, etc.
