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)

Let’s Talk Torta

This dish will always hold a special place in my cook book because well, it was the VERY FIRST REAL dish I cooked! IN MY LIFE. Before cooking this dish, Torta was just my favorite comfort food. Now, it’s my favorite comfort food AND my favorite dish to make. Hands Down. 

But before I end this, let me get something straight. The Kapampangan way of cooking Torta is very similar to how Giniling is made in many other regions of the Philippines. So if you’re wondering why our Torta looks like Giniling and isn’t shaped into egg patties, re-read this post about 50 more times. And if you haven’t tried this version of Torta before, all I can say is…YOU HAVE TO, SOON! Probably the most Manyaman thing you’ll ever eat in your life. really.
