Sinugba (pronounced see-noog-bah) is the Visayan term for "grilled" or "barbecued" food in the Philippines. It refers to any kind of meat, seafood, or even vegetables that are seasoned or marinated, then grilled over hot charcoal.

Adobo is often considered the unofficial national dish of the Philippines. It’s a flavorful, savory stew made by braising meat (commonly chicken, pork, or a combination of both) in a marinade of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and sometimes sugar.
