Keto friendliness
A massive keto trap; even seemingly safe meats are heavily marinated in sugar, and rice is non-negotiable in traditional eating.
Top ingredients
Lechon (roast pork belly), crispy pata (deep-fried pork knuckle), and plain grilled fish.
Danger zones
Sweet soy glazes, banana ketchup, hidden sugar in adobo and longganisa, and the ubiquitous mounds of white rice.
Best for
Experienced dieters who know how to order dry-rubbed or plain meats and are comfortable refusing all sauces.
