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!

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 :)

Pineapple Fried Rice w/ Teriyaki Chicken-I love cooking this dish because its sweet flavor sets itself apart from the typical Chinese styled fried rice dishes we’re all used to (which are delicious as well!). I first tried Fried Rice prepared this way at Guppy House in Orange County. From then on, I was hooked. If you love Pineapple, and love fried rice too, this is the perfect Manyaman dish for you =)

Mushroom Chicken- I always used to order this as one of my combo items at Panda Express, but I recently realized that I could just make it in my own kitchen. Something about Mushrooms, Zucchini & Chicken says Manyaman to me. This recipe is awesome cause it’s so simple & easy, but produces some really tasty results. Try it out for yourselves!

(I’ve attached a recipe. Just click the picture and you’re one step closer to enjoying this dish as much as I do)

Beef, Left over Baby Bok Choy & Red Bell Peppers make an awesome stir fry! And just to let you all know, this is the FIRST recipe I’m making available to you guys. So try it out and let me know how everything goes! Just click the picture and hopefully it will redirect you to my recipe.
