Imagine those moments when your stomach growls - it's not quite mealtime yet, but you're definitely craving something sweet, flavorful, or slightly filling. That’s where merienda comes to the rescue.



Merienda, the Filipino term for snacks or light meals eaten in between main meals, is an essential part of Filipino culture. It's the ultimate cure for after-school or office munchies, as well as late-night cravings. 


More than filling your stomach, eating merienda is a quick escape from the daily grind that will surely bring a smile to your face.

Now, let's dive into some of the best merienda recipes that you must try. These snacks can be bought from street vendors, restaurants, or made at home with love.

1. Lumpiang Shanghai

Lumpia is a staple not only in birthday parties and fiestas, but also in everyday Filipino merienda.

Among the different types of lumpia, Lumpiang Shanghai is a standout favorite. These bite-sized spring rolls are filled with a savory mixture of ground pork, carrots, onions, and various seasonings.

With each roll carefully deep-fried to golden perfection, the crispy exterior contrasts beautifully with the juicy filling inside.

Lumpiang shanghai is best enjoyed when dipped in sweet chili sauce or a tangy dipping sauce made from vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. The combination of flavors is simply irresistible, making it a popular choice among Filipinos of all ages.


2. Pancit Palabok

No matter how many times you’ve had it, the taste of Pancit Palabok never gets old. This classic Filipino merienda is a comforting dish that combines thin rice noodles, a rich annatto-flavored sauce, and an array of delicious toppings.

The sauce, made from shrimp broth and annatto seeds, gives the dish its vibrant orange color and distinct flavor.

Image source

However, it’s the garnishes that truly make this dish so well-loved. From crispy fried garlic, boiled eggs, shrimp, and smoked fish flakes, to crushed chicharon and freshly squeezed calamansi, these toppings add layers of texture and flavor that elevate the dish to new heights.

While you can easily buy this merienda favorite from street food vendors, making Pancit Palabok at home allows you to customize it to your own taste.

Some prefer a spicier version by adding extra chili flakes or hot sauce, while others may opt for a milder flavor by reducing the amount of annatto seeds used in the sauce.

Without question, the process of creating the flavorful shrimp broth, simmering the annatto seeds to infuse the sauce with its vibrant hue, and carefully arranging the toppings is a labor of love that's worth the effort.



3. Siomai

With roots tracing back to Chinese cuisine, Filipinos have made Siomai their own, adding their unique flavors and twists to this beloved merienda.
These Filipino steamed dumplings are a delightful combination of ground pork, shrimp, mushrooms, and various seasonings, all encased in a delicate and silky wrapper. Once eaten, it gives you a burst of umami flavor with every bite.

These little bundles of joy are a popular merienda choice, often enjoyed with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, calamansi juice, and chili paste.


4. Halo-Halo

Looking for something to fill your stomach on a hot summer day? Look no further than the beloved Halo-Halo. This refreshing and colorful mixed fruit dessert is the perfect treat to cool you down and satisfy your sweet tooth.

Halo-Halo, which literally translates to "mix-mix" in English, is a delightful combination of ingredients that come together in a mouthwatering symphony of flavors and textures. It starts with a base of crushed ice and evaporated milk. From there, the possibilities are endless.

Image source

Most sellers add a variety of sweet ingredients, such as sweetened beans, jellies, fruit preserves, and candied fruits. Some even include chunks of leche flan or ube halaya for added richness. To top it all off, a generous scoop of creamy ube ice cream is placed on top.

To eat halo halo, mix all the ingredients first, allowing the flavors to meld and the textures to intermingle. Each spoonful is a delightful surprise as you taste different combinations of sweet, creamy, and fruity goodness.


5. Bibingka

A favorite amongst Filipinos during the Christmas season, bibingka is a merienda that brings warmth and comfort to everyone.

This Filipino rice cake is made from a mixture of glutinous rice flour and coconut milk, giving it a soft and slightly chewy texture. Because it is traditionally cooked in clay pots lined with banana leaves over hot coals, the bibingka develops a beautiful charred exterior while maintaining a moist interior.

This Filipino merienda is topped with salted egg, margarine, and cheese for a contrast of flavor. It is often enjoyed with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, making it the perfect treat after Simbang Gabi.

Families gather around to savor this delicious rice cake while sharing stories and laughter as they celebrate the holiday season.



6. Puto

There's nothing quite like the fluffy and slightly sweet taste of Puto to transport you back to childhood memories.

These steamed rice cakes are a staple Filipino merienda, usually enjoyed during special occasions or as a simple afternoon snack.

Made from a mixture of flour, sugar, water, evaporated milk, and baking powder, Puto is light and airy, with a subtle hint of sweetness that lingers on your tongue. Most sellers top this merienda with a small slice of cheese.

It can also be flavored with pandan, ube, mango, or any other fruit extract to add a burst of flavor and a pop of color.


7. Kwek-Kwek

Who doesn't love a snack that's deep-fried until golden brown for the perfect crispy exterior? Kwek-Kwek is a Filipino merienda that takes fried eggs to a whole new level.

These bite-sized delights feature quail eggs coated in a vibrant orange batter made from flour, cornstarch, and annatto powder.

Kwek-Kwek is often enjoyed as street food, with vendors setting up their stalls in bustling markets or along busy streets. It is usually paired with cucumber and a tangy vinegar dip for a burst of freshness that cuts through the richness of the fried eggs.


8. Banana Cue

No matter how old you are, there's something undeniably comforting about indulging in caramelized banana skewers, known as Banana Cue.

Image source

This Filipino merienda is a nostalgic treat that brings back memories of carefree days and simple pleasures. This merienda is made with saba bananas, which are firmer than regular bananas, making them perfect for caramelizing.

The bananas are skewered onto bamboo sticks, then fried with brown sugar until they turn golden brown.

9. Ginataang Bilo Bilo

Ginataang Bilo Bilo is a Filipino merienda that warms both the body and soul. It is perfectly enjoyed on a chilly afternoon.

This delightful dessert soup is made with sticky rice balls, also known as bilo bilo, cooked in creamy coconut milk.

Image source

To make the bilo bilo, glutinous rice flour is mixed with water to form a dough, which is then rolled into small balls. These sticky rice balls are then boiled until they become soft and chewy.

Meanwhile, a mixture of coconut milk, water, sugar, and pandan leaves (optional) is brought to a simmer. Once the broth is ready, the bilo bilo are added and simmered until they float to the surface, a sign that they are cooked through.

Ginataang Bilo Bilo also contains plantain bananas, jackfruit, and sweet potatoes that add heartiness to the dish.


10. Pork Chicharon

If you love pork, then you're in for a treat with Pork Chicharon. This Filipino merienda is the epitome of indulgence, offering a crunchy and savory delight that is hard to resist.

To make Pork Chicharon, pork skin is first boiled until tender, then dried to remove excess moisture.
Once dried, the pork skin is deep-fried until it puffs up and turns into crispy golden goodness. The result is a snack that is both light and airy while still packing a punch of flavor.

Pork Chicharon is often enjoyed with a dipping sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, red onions, garlic, and chili.


11. Pares

Although it's considered a merienda, Pares is a filling and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed any time of the day. In fact, it’s a favorite of many Filipinos after a night out.

This Filipino comfort food consists of tender beef simmered in a flavorful sauce, served with garlic fried rice and a side of clear soup.

The beef for Pares is typically braised for hours in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, star anise, and other aromatic spices. The slow cooking process allows the meat to become incredibly tender and infused with the rich flavors of the marinade.

As the beef cooks, the sauce thickens and develops a deep, savory taste that pairs perfectly with rice.


12. Chicken Mami

Another comforting merienda that warms the soul is Chicken Mami. This Filipino noodle soup is reminiscent of rainy afternoons and cozy moments at home.

The key to a delicious Chicken Mami lies in its rich and flavorful broth. A whole chicken, along with garlic, onions, peppercorns, and bay leaves, is simmered for hours to create a savory base that will make your taste buds happy.

Thin egg noodles are then cooked separately until al dente, ensuring that they retain their satisfying chewiness. The noodles are then placed in bowls and topped with tender chicken slices, egg, blanched vegetables, and chopped scallions.

The piping hot broth is ladled over the noodles, creating a comforting and aromatic bowl of Chicken Mami.

You can add pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and calamansi to taste, allowing each individual to customize their bowl of Chicken Mami according to their preferences.

For many, the ethereal dance of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a dream reserved for Nordic and Scandinavian landscapes, far from the tropical shores of the Philippines.



However, December brought an unexpected surprise as Japan, a country not typically associated with this celestial phenomenon, witnessed the northern lights for the first time in over 20 years. This rare event, unfolding in the Hokkaido region, has captivated observers with its stunning display of vibrant colors, marking a celestial spectacle that defies geographic expectations.

The Astonishing Display in Hokkaido

Japan's Hokkaido, situated in the northern reaches of the archipelago, recently played host to an awe-inspiring exhibition of the northern lights. Unlike the familiar green hues associated with auroras in the Northern Hemisphere, this particular event treated spectators to an extraordinary sight – red auroras illuminating the night sky.


According to reports from the Rikubetsu, Hokkaido Observatory, the vivid red lights made their appearance around 8 p.m. on December 1. Takuya Murata, a staff member at the observatory, expressed the overwhelming experience, stating, "I didn't think I could see the red lights so clearly with the naked eye. It's very moving."

The Ultimate Guide to the Northern Lights: Where to Find Aurora Borealis



Unraveling the Mystery of Auroras

Auroras, often witnessed in the polar regions, are a result of disturbances in the sun's activity interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. While these mesmerizing lights are typically associated with high-latitude areas, the recent sighting in Hokkaido defies conventional expectations, marking the first occurrence of low-latitude auroras in Japan since 2003.

Studies conducted by the Rikubetsu Observatory attribute this unique event to a significant solar explosion event around the end of November. The interplay of electrons and protons colliding with gases in the Earth's atmosphere creates the breathtaking visual spectacle that is the aurora borealis.



A Regional Phenomenon

Japan isn't the sole recipient of this celestial display. Other neighboring countries in the Northern Hemisphere, such as China and Mongolia, have reported similar sightings of rare red auroras during the same period. Reports from the arctic town of Mohe in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province and northern Chinese cities, including Beijing and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, further emphasize the widespread nature of this celestial event.



A Celestial Ballet Beyond Borders

As the curtains closed on 2023, the skies above Japan bore witness to a celestial ballet, a performance that transcended geographical norms and brought the magic of the northern lights to an unexpected audience. The rare red auroras, gracing the night sky after two decades, serve as a reminder of the awe-inspiring wonders that the universe occasionally bestows upon our world.

Whether in the Arctic Circle or over the Land of the Rising Sun, the northern lights continue to weave their enchanting tapestry, leaving spectators in awe of the cosmic dance above.

Aurora Borealis Spotted in Japan for the First Time in 20 Years

The 7 Best Things to Do on Saadiyat Island


The Philippines has embarked on a significant initiative to streamline its identification system, and the cornerstone of this effort is the Philippine Identification System or PhilSys. As a Filipino citizen, I decided to register for this national identification, commonly known as PhilID, to experience firsthand the process and benefits it offers.



What is PhilSys?

PhilSys is a government program aimed at providing a unified and streamlined identification system for all citizens and resident aliens in the Philippines. At its core is the PhilID, a secure and verifiable identification card that consolidates various personal information and serves as a reliable proof of identity.

Loading...

In 2019, the PhilID was enacted via PhilSys Act (Republic Act 11055). The intention is to establish a single national identification system for all Filipino citizens and resident aliens of the Philippines for the purpose of promoting seamless and efficient delivery of government service, streamlining bureaucracy, and enhancing administrative governance, among others.

With the Phil ID, any cardholder can now transact with various government agencies such as SSS, GSIS, BIR, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, etc. using just a single ID (replacing current IDs such as UMID, Postal ID, Voter’s ID, etc.).



PhilSys Registration

While online registration is an option, I was fortunate to discover that a PhilSys Registration Center had opened in Vista Mall Taguig in September 2022 (now closed). This prompted me to personally visit the center and undergo the registration process. Here's a glimpse of my experience:


Smooth Process at Vista Mall Taguig

Registration Form: The process kicked off with filling out a registration form, providing essential personal details such as name, address, and contact information.

Biometrics: Subsequently, the registration involved capturing biometric information, including fingerprints and a facial image. This step ensures the accuracy and uniqueness of the individual's identification.


Photographs: Front-facing photograph of myself and an iris scan.

Efficiency: The entire process surprisingly took only 10-15 minutes. The efficiency of the staff and the well-organized setup contributed to a hassle-free experience.



EPhilID - Early 2023

Approximately three months after my registration, I received an exciting update. PhilSys introduced the concept of an ePhilID, a digital version of the identification card. Here's what transpired:


Personalized Paper Copy
The ePhilID featured all my personal details and a unique QR code, serving as an added layer of authentication.

To my convenience, the ePhilID was delivered straight to my house via PhilPost, making the entire process seamless.


I Received My PhilSys ID

In November 2023, a courier surprised me with an envelope from PhilSys. Upon opening it, I was delighted to find the original PVC copy of my PhilID.

From my initial registration to the final receipt of my PhilSys ID, the entire journey took approximately a year. The government's effort to implement a comprehensive identification system was evident in the seamless process, efficient personnel, and the convenience of home delivery.

As a Filipino citizen, holding the PhilID not only symbolizes my national identity but also represents a commitment to a more efficient and secure future for identification in the Philippines.
