Feel-good Filipino fare at Laguna Mabuhay


If you’re after some perfectly cooked squid, the Sizzling Stuffed Squid is just the ticket to knock your socks off.

South-east Asian food is often lauded on a global scale. Anyone who’s been to Malaysia can’t stop raving about the food. Reactions are the same with Thai, Myanmar, Laotian and Indonesian food. But the Philippines?

Somehow that’s the country that tends to get sidelined quite a bit on the gourmet map. Legendary New York Times food critic Mimi Sheraton’s epic tome 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die, a 990-page repository of foods around the world, does not feature a single Filipino dish. Which means, if an iconic culinary figure is to be believed, there’s nothing from the Philippines worth eating while you’re alive!
