Okay, here we go again on our next topic.
Today, I am going to tell you the best Ilocano Food.
Note that these Ilocano Foods can be found elsewhere throughout the Philippines. Not solely ILOCANO.
1. Katuday (cah-too-dai)
Katuday or Corkwood tree [flower] is a very tasty accompaniment to a bowl of rice. Mix with some fish sauce and slice of tomatoes, this dish can satisfy any stomach.

2. Empanada (m-pah-nah-dah)
Empanada was an imported food from Spain. The Ilocanos gave it their own twist by using eggs, longganisa (sausage), mung beans, and green papaya. It's primarily eaten during the afternoon.

3. Karabasa Soup (cah-RAH bah-sah)
Karabasa or squash soup is another dish imported from another culture. The soft and tasty squash along with string beans, sometimes eggplant, and some meat makes a great stomach filler.

4. Pinakbet (pea-knock-bet)
Pinakbet is a vegetable dish mostly found in many Ilocano homes. A nice mixture of vegetables (bitter melon, eggplant, peas, tomatoes, and string beans) are made into a soupy dish. It's a great meal with some chicharon. The chicharon will sometimes balance the saltiness of the pinakbet.
