Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

The Top Ten Most Popular Dishes of the Philippines

Food from the Philippines 

The Philippines is a tropical archipelago with a vast range of ethnic groups, stunning scenery, colourful cultures and amazing food. Diversity of cuisine is not unusual in South East Asian countries, but Filipino food is somewhat unique. Its complex and varied history really gives it an East meets West dimension. In particular, the Spanish influence is strong, as it was a Spanish colony for over 300 years from 1565.  Here are some of its top dishes, including a few national dishes of the Philippines.

1. Adobo
2. Lumpia
3. Inasal
4. Pancit
5. Sinigang
6. Cassava Cake
7. Arroz Caldo
8. Chicharon
9. Lechon
10. Kinilaw
