Simple lang siya gawin, pero winner sa init at lasa! Konting kuryente lang para pakuluan ang macaroni at sabaw, pero sulit na sulit.

Pro tip: Dagdagan ng mas maraming evaporate milk para creamier. Isang bowl lang, goodbye ginaw agad! 

Wala na atang mas sentimental pa sa champorado tuwing malakas ang ulan or may bagyo. Childhood nostalgia at its finest! Classic combo ng malagkit, tablea, at evaporated milk na perfect for every member of the family. Pero syempre, hindi kumpleto kung walang tuyo na ka-partner!

Pro-tip: Switch evaporated milk to coconut milk for a distinct tropical flavor and velvety texture.  

Nothing beats a steaming bowl of sinigang especially on a stormy day. Whether it’s the OG sinigang na baboy, sinigang na hipon, or sinigang na bangus, siguradong panalo ang sour kick mula sa sampalok, kamias or sinigang mix. Yes, it needs a slow boil, but the warmth is worth every minute — and every watt!

Pro-tip: You can also try other variations like Sinigang na Bagnet, Sinigang sa Ube or Strawberry Pork Sinigang! 

Arroz caldo is basically lugaw’s sosyal sister. Amoy pa lang, talagang warm at cozy ang hatid nitong feeling sa buong bahay. Pero wait till you have a taste of it. With a combination of chicken, boiled egg at toasted garlic, ayos na ayos talaga ang arroz caldo pag tag-ulan.

Pro-tip: Instead of the usual boiled chicken, top your arroz caldo with chopped crispy bagnet for ASMR goodness.
