The extreme climate in the Philippines makes it a perfect destination for people who wants to have the best of both worlds. Weather forecast in the country is most often not taken seriously – as the weather tends to change without any notice. Hence, many anticipate an unexpected downpour or sunshine on just about any day.
Unlike in some parts of the world where seasons change as fast as clothes on the runway do, here, there is never a certainty as to one's outfit for the day. Despite the unexpected circumstances, there is one thing certain in the country – the delicious Filipino food repertoire remains delectable like no other.
From meats, vegetables and fruits, there is nothing like a good, full coursed Filipino meal to beat the blues away. If your clothes cannot keep up with the change of weather and temperature, then for sure, you'll find a dish that will perfectly fit for your cravings.
Hungry on a hot, sunny day? Fret not; the country has every bit of sweet and cold offerings ready to cool you down. At home and you just want some cold fixins to munch on? Make your own ice candy (flavored ice pops with nuts, grains and preserved fruits) and serve it out in the patio. In the mood for a plate of fruits and cream? Slice some seasonal fruits, add cream, sweetened condense milk and you are all set. You can also add some cubed cheese for a flavor combo like no other.
Want a fiesta that you can munch on while the sun is out in all of its glory? If yes, then the halo-halo is your best friend. There is no one perfect recipe for this. Add whatever suits your cravings to make it your own halo-halo – just don't forget the ube ice cream on top!
Feeling weak because of the cold weather? If yes, then say hello to the many flavorful soup we have. Want something sour? Cook some sinigang with meat or seafood or fish and you'll be calming in no time. Want a one pot dish that's easy to cook but bursting with flavors? Have some arrozcaldo to warm your cold body. Do you want something heavy on flavors but easy on the tummy? Get your appetite ready for the Pochero...don't forget the rice!
In truth, Filipino food and dishes are made for all seasons. If you want a bite, then you'll never have a problem cooking a batch because everything is readily availabe in the market. So, the next time you visit the country, whether its sunny or rainy, you'll always be served with any of the abovementioned dishes to suit your cravings. Happy eating!
