Why is the Filipino dish called pares?
The name means pairs: beef asado paired with garlic fried rice and a light beef broth.
The word pares literally means pairs in English. The term is credited to the carinderia Jonas, opened by Lolita Tiu and Roger Tiu in 1979 in Quezon City, where beef asado, stewed in a sweet soy sauce, was paired with sinangag, which is garlic fried rice, and a light beef broth soup to make a complete meal.
