Ordering For Groups

When ordering for groups at Pinoy Tambayan, it's essential to consider the variety of dishes that can cater to different tastes and dietary preferences. Our menu offers a range of options, including rice-based dishes, which are a staple in Filipino cuisine. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, rice is a primary food source for many people, and we take this into account when preparing our meals.

Some popular dishes that are usually made with pork elsewhere, such as tocino and longganisa, are instead made with beef or chicken at Pinoy Tambayan. For example, our version of sisig is made with chicken liver and beef, rather than the traditional pork. This substitution allows us to cater to customers who do not eat pork, while still offering a flavorful and authentic Filipino dining experience.

For groups with diverse preferences, we recommend checking out our dining guides for suggestions on what to order. You can also consider ordering a few dishes to share, such as our vegetable spring rolls, which are made with a variety of vegetables and are a great option for vegetarians. Additionally, our lumpiang shanghai is made with chicken and vegetables, rather than pork, and is a popular choice among groups.

• Beef or chicken tocino
• Chicken liver and beef sisig
• Vegetable spring rolls
• Chicken and vegetable lumpiang shanghai

Pares Pairing Suggestions

Another option is longganisa, which is typically made with pork, but we substitute it with chicken or beef to cater to our no-pork policy.

Conclusion

To determine how much pares to order for a group dining experience, consider the serving size and the appetites of your guests. Pares is a popular Filipino dish that typically consists of braised beef, usually beef brisket or beef shank, served with garlic fried rice and a side of beef broth. The beef is usually slow-cooked in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and spices, resulting in tender and flavorful meat. Note that while tocino and longganisa are usually made with pork, at Pinoy Tambayan we use beef instead, so you can still enjoy similar flavors without the pork.

When ordering pares for a group, you may also want to consider ordering other dishes to complement it, such as steamed vegetables or fried plantains. You can also ask for extra garlic fried rice or beef broth on the side. Some dishes, like sisig, are usually made with pork, but at Pinoy Tambayan we use chicken or beef, so you can still enjoy this Filipino favorite without the pork. If you have guests with dietary restrictions, be sure to ask about substitution options, such as using chicken or beef instead of the usual ingredients in dishes like bopis or siomai.

For a group dining experience, you can order a few servings of pares and some extra sides to share. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
