10 Dishes and Snacks Filipinos Usually Bring During Outings

One of the things we weren’t able to do this summer is going to pools and beaches. Besides swimming, eating is the activity that many look forward to during outings. It’s safe to say that no Filipino resort or beach trip is complete without certain kinds of food. 

Here are 10 snacks and dishes that are always present in Filipino outings that we miss. 

Adobo

This is the go-to dish of many Filipino families because it’s fast and easy to make. It also doesn’t easily go bad, unlike other viands. 

Liempo or Pork BBQ 

Nothing beats freshly grilled liempo or pork barbecue, especially after taking a dip in the pool or beach. They are also great to have as pulutan after swimming. 

Boodle Fight 

Do you enjoy a hefty feast? Simply prepare your hands, no spoon or fork needed and lay down a large banana leaf. Line up the rice in the middle and place different kinds of viands on the side, and there you have it, a fun boodle fight.

Seafood is essential in almost all Filipino family get-togethers. Often, elders prefer fish over pork or chicken. 

Pancit Malabon

Those who don’t have time to cook can easily order a bilao of Pancit Malabon. This type of pancit contains different kinds of toppings like shrimp, squid, cabbage, and deep-fried pork. 

Grilled Squid

Another popular grilled food during outings is grilled squid. It tastes even better when bought fresh from the beach. 

Fish Crackers

You can buy kropek not only in small packs but also in large plastic sacks. It’s often more than enough for the family to share. 

Fresh Fruits

Watery and citrusy fruits are common sights in Filipino outings. Just the thought of unripe mango dipped in bagoong already makes us salivate!

Salted Egg

Even salted egg alone is enough as a viand. They are easy to bring to beaches and resort and they are ready to eat. 

Ensaladang Talong

Also called eggplant salad, ensaladang talong is the perfect side dish to grilled meat and seafood.
