There are different types of pulatan including fish, meat, nuts and chips. Some of the most delicious appetizers include Filipino Satays marinated in a special blend, steamed meatballs sealed in wonton wrappers and dipped in soy sauce with squeezed kalamansi (Philippine lemon). This particular appetizer is influenced from the Chinese cuisine, but served in a particular Philippines manner. There is also the grilled chicken feet, spicy fried peanuts, sometimes flavored with garlic, salted, dried and fried pork rind, or the tiny fried spring rolls filled with minced meat.
