About Dinakdakan

Dinakdakan is a traditional dish from Ilocos, Philippines, celebrated for its bold flavors and rich texture. It is primarily made of grilled and boiled pork parts, including ears, face, and liver, mixed with onions, chili, and calamansi juice, then bound together with creamy mayonnaise or pig brain for authenticity. Often considered a Filipino delicacy, Dinakdakan is a protein-rich dish but can be high in fat and cholesterol due to its pork content and creamy dressing, making it less ideal for heart-conscious diets when consumed in excess. The addition of fresh onions and calamansi juice provides a touch of vitamin C and antioxidants, which slightly counterbalance the richness of the dish. While indulgently flavorful, moderation is key to enjoying Dinakdakan as part of a balanced diet.
