TropaNgTropa What Filipino dishes should I actually try, and is the food spicy? Tried kare-kare with a side of bagoong last time out and the peanut gravy stayed mild the whole way through, but that fermented shrimp paste added just enough bite to notice.
lakbaylover Kare-kare’s creamy side really lets the bagoong shine through like that. Most Filipino dishes lean savory or sour instead of packing heavy heat, though you can always add fresh chilies on the side if you want more bite.
