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) 1/1

Filipino Beef Steak (Bistek)-In Pampango, we call this “Bisteg”, and it’s always been one of my favorite Beef dishes. I like to use lots of Calamansi when marinating the meat (I’m talking about A LOT of Calamansi). This really gives the dish that unique , truly Filipino, citrusy flavor :)
