PALABOK

Palabok is a popular Filipino noodle dish known for its vibrant and flavorful toppings. Made with thin rice noodles (bihon) and smothered in a savory, orange-colored shrimp sauce, this dish is packed with umami goodness. It’s traditionally garnished with a variety of toppings like crispy chicharrón (pork rinds), hard-boiled eggs, shrimp, tinapa flakes (smoked fish), and green onions. A squeeze of calamansi adds a zesty finish, balancing out the rich flavors. Palabok is commonly enjoyed as a merienda (snack) or during special occasions, making it a beloved comfort food in the Philippines.
