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)

A Manyaman Christmas-Boboto (Pampanga Tamales), Suman, and Suman Bulagta are all traditional Kapampangan Christmas treats to have during this time of year :) I hope all you tumblr followers are having a very Merry Christmas surrounded by your loved ones, and of course, by lots of manyaman food! God Bless you All!

Sisig Kapampangan- Once again, I am proud to say that this Manyaman Filipino Favorite originated in Pampanga :) Thanks to Aling Lucing of Angeles, Pampanga-Dakal a Salamat Pu! I’ll be honest, cooking sisig is definitely NOT an easy dish to cook…there are several specific cooking processes that go into it, and if even one of these cooking processes are not executed properly, the whole dish could go wrong. Thankfully, my sisig came out successfully, and more importantly, it came out Manyaman! The only thing that was missing was a case of San Miguel Beer hahah

Sipo Egg-This is another traditional Kapampangan dish made up of a medley of Crab Meat, Shrimp, Quail Eggs, Carrots, and Green Peas in a delicious creamy sauce. Manyaman food at it’s best =)

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!
