Monkey, Meat, Philippine Street Vendor Style "Monkey Meat"
I was stationed at Subic Bay from 1983-86, and luckily was able to gather a little info on Philippino cooking. The marinade you're looking for is 7-Up, believe it or not. Usually the meat is pork sliced thinly, "woven" onto a wooden skewer and marinated overnight in 7-Up, garlic, soy sauce or what ever other spice suits your taste. I personally like to add a little cayenne pepper to give a little "hot" to the meat. You can use monkey if you like, but it's a darker meat and you need to marinate longer to get rid of the wild taste. Barbequed monitor lizard or fruit bat wasn't too bad either. ****** Norm Corley, Athens, Greece**** It was my mother-in-law who happened to be visiting at the time. After telling me all about it, she got in the mood to do some. She used 7-up, garlic, soy, vinegar (and possibly some sliced onion--I don't remember). She put it on skewers and I grilled it. Good stuff. Jus tmake sure your grill is hot enough to brown them quickly, and get them off before they dry out.

BGE Forum, Michael B, 2007/12/26
A friend at work says is wife, who is from Baguio, uses 7Up, coconut and palm vinegars, soy sauce, kalamansi ( Calamondin ) when she can get it or lemons when she can't, and garlic.
BGE Forum, 2008/03/02---Filipino BBQ Beanie-Bean Actually, it's pork country cut ribs sliced very thinly. The secret marinade sauce we use on it is Mama Sita's barbecue marinade, some crushed garlic, and some beer. Oh yeah, be sure to soak your bamboo skewers in water a bit before you put the meat on so that they don't turn into smoking wood on the BGE. Cook temp was 350 deg before I put the foil shield in just under where the thermo is located. Kinda have to do it by time/feel for this one--lots of rotating of the skewers to prevent the meat from turning into charcoal.

No apologies needed Richard...cool insights. Monkey meat...really? I think I'll stick with the Country Rib meat.
I'll look for Mama Sita's at my favorite Asian gorcer. -
Brad,
The Mama Sita's BBQ marinade can be found at MT Supermarket on Lamar, just off Braker. -
Glad that you found the post! I haven't tried the search engine lately, so thanks for the assist! Dorothy actually marinated the pork, so I didn't know what she did until I got back from the Eggfest. I'd been telling people the recipe listed in your clip--soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, garlic, and 7Up.
Guess Mama Sita has managed to bottle all of the goodness up and sell it In the recipe I posted on the right-had side, I listed the correct ingredients, but no measurements or proportions. I'll do that when I do the next batch.
Cheers, man! -
Now we just need a source for fresh monkey meat. During the '60's rumor had it that there were not a lot of dogs on the streets of Subic Bay. Go figure.hehe!

A friend brought over some Monkey Meat he had done on his grill and it was delicious. I will have to get his recipe. It was an overnight marinade with several ingredients. If it was that good of his nice gasser I can imagine how good it would be on the Egg. :laugh:

Perhaps we need some bread to go with it!
