Palabok is a Filipino dish I cannot have enough of every time I come home to the Philippines for a visit. It is popular among all Filipinos and it is a staple. So basic is this dish to many Filipino meals, it has become a mainstay in Jollibee, the Philippine version of McDonald's.

I do try to take advantage when I'm there. For the equivalent of $2.5o, I got this meal which made me full for the rest of the day. On a visit last 2011, I remember eating it for five straight days for dinner in a food court.

What can I say? I just love it.
