An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Happy weekend!
Todayβs Ask PHlemmy: What is your favorite poverty meal that you still eat regardless of where you are financially?
instant noodles and tuyo, yum yum
Eggs, tuyo, instant noodles. If not that lazy, beans.
When outside in Baguio, meron pa yung karinderya sa Porta with 55 peso budget meal na 2 rice, 2 meat, and sabaw.
oo sulit talaga dun
Kamatis. Kamatis lang masaya na ko
simpleng itlog na kahit anong luto
Rice mixed in a bit of soy sauce especially pag may halong calamansi. Unhealthy pero it lowkey slaps for me
Peanut butter sandwich. I can live (and have lived) off of it for a few days. That and liver spread sandwich.
During the height of the pandemic, I learned about peanut butter on instant noodles and I found it amazing. Also instant noodles on bread.
I do earn enough for proper meals, but at times I get too lazy to prepare (i.e. buy) food and the unbalanced/unhealthy "meal options" above are just very convenient.
Inuulam yung mang juan/martys sa kanin
Nudels, tuyong isda o pritong isda d best
Instant Yakisoba. I just ate one yesterday, as a matter of fact.
Unripe (but not too unripe) saba bananas dipped in fish bagoong.
Also, lugaw/arroz caldo/goto with nothing in it but rice. I've even made an imitation version of it via (instant) oatmeal, instant noodle seasoning, guinisa mix, and some grated (chicken) bouillon cubes.
Tortang talong? Poverty meal pa ba yun? Kasi minsan mahal ng talong o itlog.
