pakilala

Pakilala is a traditional Filipino dish that is often served as a side dish or appetizer. It is a type of fried rice, typically made with glutinous rice, which is cooked until it becomes slightly sticky and fragrant. The rice is then mixed with various ingredients, such as garlic, onions, shrimp paste, and sometimes meat or seafood. The mixture is then fried until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Pakilala is often served with other Filipino dishes, such as adobo or sinigang, and is a popular choice for gatherings and celebrations. It is a versatile dish that can be customized with different ingredients to suit individual preferences. The dish is believed to have originated from the Visayas region of the Philippines, and it has since become a staple in Filipino cuisine.
