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!

Pistu-This is a traditional Pampango dish that is usually served at breakfast as filling for Hot Pandesal, or a side to Sinangag (Garlic Fried Rice). It consists of classic Manyaman ingredients like Shrimp, Chopped Hot Dogs & Ground Pork. I remember my grandma would ALWAYS cook this on Saturday mornings. It’s one of those dishes that brings me back to my childhood every time I take a bite <3 I would post the recipe up, but unfortunately this one is gonna have to stay between my Grandma and me. Sorry guys!
