Whether you're a seasoned cook or a culinary novice, we've got three delectable dishes for you to try out during your staycation at our cozy haven in Eastwood City, Quezon City, Philippines.

1. Breakfast: Tapsilog First up, we're serving Tapsilog, a beloved breakfast staple in the Philippines. The name 'Tapsilog' is a combination of 'Tap' from Tapa (cured beef), 'Si' from Sinangag (garlic fried rice), and 'Log' from Itlog (egg). Here's a simple way to make it:

1. For Tapa: Marinate thin slices of beef in soy sauce, calamansi juice, sugar, and garlic overnight. Fry until cooked.

2. For Sinangag: Fry minced garlic until golden, add cooked rice, stir until well mixed.

3. Fry an egg the way you like it.

Serve the Tapa, Sinangag, and fried egg together, and voila! You've got yourself a hearty Filipino breakfast.

2. Lunch: Adobong Baboy (Pork Adobo) Moving on to lunch, let's cook Adobong Baboy, a classic Filipino dish known for its savory, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors. You may also use chicken for Adobo or mix both.

1. Sauté garlic in oil, add pork pieces, cook until browned.

2. Add soy sauce, vinegar, water, bay leaves, and whole peppercorn. Simmer until pork is tender.

3. Season with sugar and salt to taste.

Enjoy your Adobong Baboy with warm white rice. It's comfort food at its finest.

3. Dinner: Sinigang na Baboy (Pork Sinigang)

For dinner, let's prepare Sinigang na Baboy, a comforting, tangy pork soup beloved in the Philippines. This dish uses a tamarind base for its signature sour flavor.

1. Sauté onions, tomatoes, and radish in a pot. Add the pork and cook until it changes color.

2. Pour in water or broth, and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer until the pork becomes tender.

3. Add tamarind soup mix, long green beans, and okra. Cook for a few minutes.

4. Add spinach or water spinach and sliced chili. Simmer for a minute or two, then season with fish sauce and pepper to taste.

Serve your Sinigang na Baboy piping hot, perfect for a relaxing dinner to wrap up a day of adventures at Eastwood City.
