MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – The list of the world’s best street food is out, and Filipinos are very surprised the Philippines , and especially Metro Manila, is not on it.
Topping the list is Singapore with its famous dumplings, curried fish heads, bak kut teh (meat bone tea), oyster omelets and duck rice. In second place is Bangkok, cited for its curries, noodles, roast duck, and fried to dancing shrimp. Mexico City came in third with its street corn, al pastor tacos, gorditas, fresh juice and churros.
With all due respct, we think the authors of the list at Thrillist.com must have forgotten to stop by Manila, where one can find street delicacies in which not a single part of animal food goes to waste — from feet to ears, from skin to intestines, from bills to feathers.
In defense of Manila’s street food, we are listing just a few of what makes the Philippine metropolis worthy of the top spot. Thrillist, are you listening?
Here’s a list of 9 of the best Philippine street food, courtesy of matadornetwork.com.
