EN: food cooked to order; a request to cook something
The ultimate life hack for when you're at the palengke (wet market). You buy fresh seafood or meat, then go to a nearby carinderia and say "**Paluto** po!" They'll cook it for you for a fee. It’s like having a personal chef for a day without the celebrity price tag. Also a command: "Ma, **paluto** naman ng adobo!"
From `pa-` (request/causative prefix) + `luto` (cook).
ROOT MEANING: cooked
Functions as a noun ("Ang sarap ng paluto natin!") or as a command/request ("Paluto ka naman."). The concept is very popular in dampa-style seafood restaurants.

🇺🇸 We bought fresh fish at the market and looked for a place that cooks food to order.
