The Manyaman Blog

Home Ask Archive
Welcome to The Manyaman Blog, your one stop spot for everything Manyaman! Now, what exactly does "Manyaman" mean? Let me explain. In the Pampango dialect of the Philippines, this is the one word that describes food that is undeniably tasty, mouth-watering, and flavorful. In short, it means absolutely delicious!

A little about myself: My name is Michael Sibal, a 21 year old college student working part time as head chef in my own family kitchen :) Being a Kapampangan, I pride myself in the well known culinary talent of my people. Through this blog, I hope to bring Filipino cuisine into a new light, with my own Pampango twist of course. Occasionally, I will post dishes that are more Asian Inspired, or not Filipino at all, but nonetheless, every dish I cook will surely be Manyaman. Thanks for visiting my page!

*NOTE: All the dishes posted in this blog are photographed by me, and more importantly cooked by me (Unless reblogged)

Stir Fried Shrimp & Vegetables in a Spicy Ginger Sauce- After taking a short hiatus from cooking, I’m back & excited to post some new food pics for all you tumblr food lovers :) Manyaman Tip: For a great stir fry, toss in some ginger and red pepper flakes while cooking the vegetables/meat. This ensures that extra Asian “kick” of flavor that every delicious stir fry should have!

Sipo Egg-This is another traditional Kapampangan dish made up of a medley of Crab Meat, Shrimp, Quail Eggs, Carrots, and Green Peas in a delicious creamy sauce. Manyaman food at it’s best =)

dearaliya Asked: Hold on- you grew up in San Diego? Who taught you how to cook? They all look manyaman! Your plating is amazing. Are you a culinary student? Good job on the photos! Haha too many questions. I love your blog!! I'm excited to try your version of Torta! :)

Answer:

Hey! Yess, I am from San Diego…and growing up in a Kapampangan family, there were cooks all around me, so I pretty much learned how to cook from my whole family haha… but especially from my mom & lola. And no, I’m not a culinary student, but as you can tell I love cooking! Anyways, thanks for all your compliments! I’m glad you liked my blog :) Please keep following!

Teriyaki Salmon Steaks- This is the first time I’ve ever used Salmon in a Teriyaki dish, and the final product was super Manyaman. After pan frying my fish, I smothered them in my own sweet ginger based Teriyaki sauce, then baked them to get some caramelization going. It was delicious :)

Sopas-Or a Filipino version of the ever favorite Chicken Noodle Soup has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. As a kid, I referred to it as “Macaroni Soup” and I never got tired of eating it. I practically grew up on Sopas :) Today, I cook it regularly, and still love eating it…especially when it’s cold out!
