El Pinoy Grill ~ Filipino - Paddy's Markets, Haymarket

Breakfast at Paddy's Markets doesn't have to be the usual bacon and egg rolls. How about a Filipino option at El Pinoy Grill?

Panlasang Pinoy ~ Filipino, Kogarah

The most fun way to get into some Pinoy food is at one of Sydney's big handful of little Filipino shops that are varying parts grocery store, takeway, restaurant, community hub and caterer, in varying order.

Pinoy Kitchen ~ Filipino & Doonside Festival

We don't usually go in for neighbourhood festivals but somehow the idea of a Doonside festival struck a chord, a fine excuse to sniff around a suburb we've never snifftered before.

Lina's Kusina Cafe ~ Filipino - Glebe

Lina's Kusina Cafe in Glebe is great place to dip your toe into Filipino cuisine. They have a modern easy-eating style of cooking and super friendly service. And if you're dragging along non-adventurous eaters there's also western style sandwiches and stuff, though try to talk them into the Chicken inihaw, they can even have it with chips.

El Pinoy Grill ~ Filipino - Paddy's Markets, Haymarket

B-Kyu Cooks ~ Pinoy ginisang veggies - Filipino recipe

After a few trial runs, we hit on an easy recipe for a classic Filipino veggie dish that is a meal on it's own or a side dish. Making use of fresh crisp green beans and a basic trio of onion, garlic and tomato, this is a dinner winner.

Sizzling Fillo ~ Filipino - Lidcombe

A few years ago we walked past Sizzling Fillo and thought 'nah, too fancy for us'. How wrong (and stupid) were we?

Pasalubong Oriental Foodmart ~ Mascot - Filipino

Pasalubong Oriental Foodmart has been trucking out Filipino groceries for some time. It's these small places that hide the good stuff, let it be hidden no more.

La Mesa Philippine Cuisine ~ Chinatown

It took several visits, hearty recommendations from Filipino folks, and a trip to Manila for us to understand the pleasures of La Mesa. Now it's one of our all-time favourite Sydney restaurants.

Supermarkets of Mystery ~ Sizzling sisig in a can - Filipino

Sisig, the Filipino specialty of a hot plate filled with chopped pieces of pigs head, is available in a small snack size can. We rip the lid off to see if it can really sizzle.

The Funky Chicken Pinoy BBQ & Bakery + Pabico Fast Food & Asian Grocery ~ Filipino - Mount Druitt

We do The Funky Chicken at Mount Druitt.

Mykababayan Filipino Dishes & Sari Sari Store ~ Fairfield

Mr Shawn faces his most feared real life nightmare. No, not the one about going to school with no pants on. And not the Tony Abbott nightmare, that one came true. We're talking about the ultimate nightmare of the foodblogger: finding a great restaurant without camera on hand, armed with nothing but a phone and bad light. Call the shrink.

Fiesta ~ Filipino - Blacktown

Our nipples explode with delight as we try Filipino food for the first time, and discover it's even better than we expected.
