Filipino Spaghetti Sauce

We Filipinos have a unique take on spaghetti sauce.
Kakaiba tayong mga Pinoy pagdating sa sarsa para sa ispageti.

We like it a bit sweeter, so we use banana ketchup or sugar to make it suit our taste preference. Mas gusto natin ‘yung medyo mas matamis, kaya gumagamit tayo ng ketsap ng saging o asukal para gawin itong naaayon sa ating panlasa.

And there’s a secret ingredient that’s added by the cook. It’s hotdog!
At may sikretong sangkap na idinaragdag ang tagaluto. Ito ay ang hatdog!

Of course, Filipinos like the original Italian style too, although the truth is it’s sort of Americanzied already. Siyempre, gusto rin ng mga Pinoy iyong tulad ng estilong Italyano na orihinal, kahit ang totoo eh medyo napa-Amerikano na rin.
