2. EXOTIC FOODS
Adobong pusa or cat adobo
• Do you know that even cats are eaten by people in the
Philippines? They cook it in adobo style, sautéed with
garlic, onion and laurel leaf seasoned with soy sauce and
vinegar. This is a favorite appetizer during their drinking
spree.

3. Adobo/ prito o litsong daga or
adobo/ fried or roasted rat
Rats from the rice paddies are also eaten. They
would skin them, cut the head, the tail, and the legs
then all internal organs are removed. Actually these
rodents are clean because they only feed on rice.
Cooking is done the adobo way deep fried. It can
also be roasted like chicken.

4. Crickets
A farmer’s favorite crickets are rich in nutrients and it is juicy and
flavorful. Everyone who tasted a dish made up of crickets here said
that is tastes better than chicken. To capture these insects farmers
would put a marker on an area where there is a good concentration of
crickets. The farmers will then pour water in the area and dance, this
will force the crickets to get out of their lair and eventually will be
captured one by one.

5. Kilawing bunog (raw young of a
mudfish)
• These are eaten raw spiced up with
vinegar or citrus juice, pepper, and salt

6. Adobo o pritong palaka (adobo
or fried frogs)
Frogs can be cooked in adobo style or deep
fried. It’s tastier than chicken. There are also
some people in the Philippines that eat legs of
bullfrogs cooked in the same manner.

7. Adobong ahas (snake adobo)
This is cooked in adobo style. Snake is
commonly eaten in Asia because of its medicinal
value. It’s also a good aphrodisiac.

8. Adobong bayawak/itlog (monitor
lizard meat/eggs)
It is sautéed in garlic and onion, ginger and laurel leaf with
pepper, soy sauce, and vinegar or more popularly called
adobo. This is perfect for “pulutan” (food appetizer while
drinking wine or liquor). The eggs are usually cook by
simply boiling it, it taste salty and delicious. Their eggs
are considered exotic because it’s rare and hard to find.

9. Bats
Another food that definitely tastes like chicken for the time
is the bats. Although they can look fearsome according
to my mother the bats are best cooked in adobo or fried
and they can also leave you a great tang on your taste
buds. The bats can be boiled using various flavorings
and this is considered a delicacy all over Asia.

10. Grasshoppers
• A delicacy which is enjoyed thoroughly in the northern part of the
Philippines is the grasshoppers. The grasshoppers are considered
nuisance for they can bring plague or eat the farmer’s crops, the
farmers have devised a way to get even, that is, to get rid of the feet
and wings of the poor insects then cooked them with salt and
seasonings. Bon Appétit everyone and experience how John the
Baptist of the scriptures feels when he munched on the
grasshoppers. The grasshoppers tastes like shrimp.

11. DETERMINE IF THESE DISHES WILL BE
APPEALING TO FILIPINO’S TASTE
BUDS.
• Because sometimes , they think that
exotic foods can cure diseases.
• It will give a nasty experience or good
taste and it depends who will try them.
• This foods are eaten as “pulutan”
with beer or liquor.
