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)

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 :)

Sinigang Na Salmon- Many of us might be more used to the traditional Pork Sinigang, but using seafood such as prawns or fish in Sinigang is equally as Manyaman! I love using Salmon fillets in this dish because they marry really well with the sourness of the soup. Manyaman Tip: Add some smashed ginger in your Sinigang when using fish or other seafood! It really does wonders =)

Escabeche-Like many other Filipino dishes, this dish is highly influenced by traditional Spanish cuisine. Typically, a whole fried fish is used in this dish, but since I didn’t have a whole fish available in the freezer, I used some Tilapia Fillets instead. I breaded my Tilapia fillets in some panko bread crumbs, and topped it with a super Manyaman Pineapple sweet & sour sauce.
