Taste of Ilocano Culture

For most of us, checking the Facebook news is a part of our daily routine. This morning, as I skimmed through people's post and daily morning rants, I came across a picture of pinapaitan, an Ilokano delicacy, posted by Ilokano Food. I was so stoke! Since I'm about to eat some of that this weekend.

What is Pinapaitan? So you ask. Mananggan describes it best. My simple definition is "Ilokano Menudo" only better.

The article was actually from this website MAKAN. If you are interested in the Ilocano Culture, you simply must start with the food! This site is all about the taste buds of Ilokanos.

While browsing through the different articles, read the comment sections of the site and exercise what you've learned so far from the lessons we've provided. The best way to retain what little Ilokano you've learned is to utilize them. Many of the comments are short and simple. Write down the words you don't know and ask us on our Facebook Page.

Afterwards, for more historical knowledge on Ilokano Food Culture, go check out A Taste of Ilocos Norte.

Don't forget, we post a "Ilokano Phrase of the Day" in our Facebook Page.
