Filipino cuisine is a deliciously diverse mix of influences from around the world, including Chinese, Spanish, and American. So, it’s no surprise that Filipino cuisine is taking the world by storm! And when it comes to potluck parties, it’s the perfect choice to win over anyone’s heart (and stomach).
But to understand it better, here are some of the reasons why Filipino food for potluck parties is a perfect idea.
It’s Easy to Share
Filipino cuisine is all about bringing people together over a delicious spread of food. Most dishes are served as salo-salo, meaning everyone can have a taste of everything. This makes it perfect for potluck parties because the food can be easily shared and enjoyed by everyone.
Additionally, most Filipino dishes are served with rice, which acts as a great base to absorb all the flavors of the dishes. Mix and match to your heart’s content and create the ultimate potluck feast that will have everyone coming back for seconds (and thirds, and fourths…)
One perfect partner for a bowl of hot rice is the Bistek Tagalog which is perfect for potluck parties. It’s a classic Filipino beef dish that’s made with thinly sliced beef, onions, soy sauce, and calamansi juice. It’s truly a feast for all!
It’s Affordable
Filipinos are known for going all out when it comes to food, but we also have a side that knows how to stretch a budget. It’s just one of the many things that make us true-blue Pinoys! And when it comes to affordability, Sisig is definitely the true hero. It’s made with chopped pork, onions, green chilli peppers, and vinegar. Sisig is a perfect choice for potluck parties because it’s easy to make in large quantities, and it’s affordable.
But you don’t need to stress about making Sisig from scratch because FoodTray2Go has got your back! We offer a variety of potluck dishes, including the irresistible Sisig, in our party food tray menu.
So what are you waiting for? You can have this Sisig with rice or as pulutan with alcohol on the side!
It Offers a Variety of Flavors
The best thing about Filipino cuisine for potluck parties is its incredible range of flavors – there’s always something for anyone’s palette! And one dish we’re particularly proud of is milkfish, also known as bangus. Let’s be real, who can resist the mouth-watering bangus belly in all its varieties of cooking? It’s a guaranteed hit at any potluck gathering!
Plus, there are so many ways to enjoy bangus belly! One of the most popular is Grilled Bangus Belly, where it’s marinated and grilled to perfection. This cooking method gives it a tender and juicy texture that’s hard to resist.
Next is another delectable option, but this one’s a bit different. Pinaputok Bangus Belly is stuffed with a mixture of tomatoes, herbs, and spices, then cooked until it becomes oh so satisfying.
There are many other ways to cook this dish and other delectable options include our Sarciadong Bangus Belly which is fried and simmered in eggs, fresh tomatoes and onions to create a well-balanced meal in itself. Then let’s not forget the classic taste of Sinigang Bangus Belly that has tasty bangus belly and veggies in a sour and savory soup of local flavors. Lastly our Bangus Belly Steak may also provide a fried bangus belly option that just hits the spot topped with cooked onions! Any of these dishes are sure to satisfy anyone’s cravings and provide a great variety for your potluck party.
It Can Be Customized
Filipino food can be customized to fit everyone’s tastes. Crispy Kangkong is a dish that’s popular in the Philippines and can be customized in many ways. It’s a dish made with crispy fried water spinach leaves, and it’s often served with different dips and flavors such as cheese and BBQ. You can also try it with our favorite garlic mayo dip for a flavor that creates a unique taste explosion in your mouth!
