Food is very representative of a city's culture. In order to really get to know a place and the people, you've got to eat the food.

One of my favorite foods, that is unique to the Philippines, is chicken adobo. It's made with a sauce mixture of soy sauce and vinegar. It's the best when potatoes are added and it's always served over rice, of course!

For breakfast, I love eating tocino with egg and rice. Tocino is, usually, pork that is cured in sugar and fried, tastes so good!

Halo-halo is a popular and tasty dessert. Halo-halo means mix-mix which is exactly what it is. It's a combination of shredded ice, ice cream, milk, beans, and fruits
