"Our chicken adobo has found a pretty bowl to lay in. Silog (garlic rice and egg) bowls are a popular breakfast staple in our family. We are doing a few Silogs at the restaurant but we think the adobo will still be the most popular one! Do you have a favorite Silog? #filipinofood #filipinofoodmovement #restaurantmenu #prettyplates #westbottomskc"

"When the truck is in the shop so Tuesday turned to recipe testing day instead of cleaning day. Okoy (oh-koi) is one of my favorite snacks growing up. These vegetable fritters are very versatile - you can really put any vegetables you want. My family usually makes them with grated green papaya and some baby shrimp! My version includes sweet potatoes and a side of garlic vinegar. It’s a work in progress but this will definitely be on our menu! #filipinofood #filipinofoodmovement #pinoyfood #pinoyfoodinkc #okoy #recipetesting"

"Looking for brunch plans? Stop by the @theroasterie for a food truck brunch under the plane. We will have our lechon kawali (deep fried pork belly) with our secret lechon sauce! Great with our garlic fried rice! #filipinofood #filipinofoodmovement #lechonkawali #sarsanglechon #porkskin #porkbelly #brunchgoals #thatskintho"

"Comfort food to us means a big plate of sinigang (see-knee-gung). Our favorite has long beans, pork riblets, and a very sour tamarind broth. And a lot of rice! 🍚 What’s on your lunch plans today? #filipinofood #pinoyfood #manyaman #maasim #sinigang"
