This year, we saw (and willingly joined) a lot of food challenges<\/strong>, jumped into bandwagons, and followed numerous recipes<\/strong> on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also Read:<\/strong> Top 10 Most Loved Restaurants in Tagaytay for November 2020<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a grand recap of all the food trends we have witnessed thrive here in the Philippines<\/strong>, and where you can get your hands on some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2020 was undeniably the year of ube dishes<\/strong>. The most popular food trend<\/strong> we’ve seen under this flavor is the ube cheese pandesal<\/strong>. This pandesal has been baked with ube-flavored dough<\/strong> and comes with a gooey cheese filling<\/strong>. It’s the best, we tell you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n All hail the most popular quarantine drink of 2020<\/strong> — the Dalgona coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Dalgona coffee puts a twist in our daily coffee using four simple ingredients<\/strong>: instant coffee, hot water, sugar, and milk. It’s so simple yet its fluffy, whipped texture<\/strong> has captured the hearts of many people who are stuck at home and have nothing else to do. For some, making their very first cup of Dalgona coffee<\/strong> paved the way to their quarantine cooking career<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fun fact:<\/strong> This beverage got its name from the Korean sweet candy called Dalgona. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With the Korean samgyeopsal as the pioneer in food wrapping<\/strong>, Pinoys have adopted to this food trend and even invented a new one — the sushi bake<\/strong> or baked sushi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It sounds weird at first, but many immediately jumped to the trend to try the sushi bake. It is basically a platter of cooked rice<\/strong>, tons of crab sticks<\/strong>, your choice of vegetables<\/strong> such as cucumbers or mangoes, cheese<\/strong>, Kewpie mayonnaise<\/strong>, and bits of nori<\/em><\/strong> (dried seaweed) all layered to create a gorgeous bed of sushi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You eat it like a samgyeopsal<\/em> only except your lettuce leaves are your palm-sized nori<\/em> sheets<\/strong> and your grilled pork belly pieces are your spoonful of baked sushi <\/strong>in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Foodies have gotten creative with their baked creations as well and sort of stepped outside the box with their baked samgyup<\/a> and takoyaki bake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Originally a recipe from Spain, the Basque burnt cheesecake<\/strong> is an exception<\/strong> to the notion that all things burnt are unappetizing<\/strong>. This cheesecake is not burnt to its literal sense, rather it gives the impression of being burnt because of its dark brown top layer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike other receipes, the Basque burnt cheesecake encourages you to burn the dish, an essential part of the dessert to give a nice, bitter contrast <\/strong>to its rich and creamy flavor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ve seen it before on social media<\/strong>, topped with birthday wishes<\/strong>, confessions of love<\/strong>, or even just because<\/strong> messages. We\u2019re talking about those viral minimalist cakes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n They apparently originated from South Korea (the land of all trending things), where instead of the usual detailed cake design they tone it down<\/strong> with solid pastel colors<\/strong> and some straightforward text<\/strong> to get the message across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pahabol<\/strong><\/em> food trend of the year has got to be charcuterie boards and grazing tables and boxes, just in time for the noche buena<\/em> and media noche<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is basically a beautifully arranged spread<\/strong> with different kinds of cold cuts<\/strong>, cheeses, nuts and fruits. It’s the perfect pairing to wines and spirits<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We know you loved using the Booky app for discovering the newest places in your city.
