Here are some Filipino dishes that I recommend you guys try when you're in the Philippines. Consult Google where you can find these, or have your girls make them for you.
1. Liempo (sometimes called inihaw na liempo) pork belly that's been marinated and grilled. This is like bacon on steroids.
2. Lechon, an entire pig that's been spit roasted over an open fire. What you get is pork that is extremely tender and juicy, and skin that's as crispy as chips.
3. Lechon kawali. It's lechon that is deep fried of instead of roasted. Similar in taste but different in texture.
4. Adobo, probably the most famous dish here, usually a meat cooked in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, etc. Delicious when done right.
5. Sinigang, a famous soup dish. It's meat (usually pork but sometimes beef or fish) and vegetables in a tamarind based broth, making it meaty and sour at the same time, in a very good way.
6. Bulalo, another soup dish. This is a beef broth cooked with bone marrow, which gives it an intense beef flavor.
7. Tinola, another soup dish. It's a a ginger and onion based soup with chicken as the main ingredient and green papaya or squash.
