Simple but complex
One thing is for sure, the country loves to eat! Whenever there’s a celebration, there is food. Not just enough for the event but enough for everyone to take home. Filipinos cook with humble ingredients to create complex and balanced flavours.
The cuisine does not need fancy and complicated kitchen appliances, all they need is a kawali (wok) and sandok (cooking spoon) to make amazing dishes.
Sinigang (tamarind soup), Kare-Kare (stew in peanut sauce) and Lechon (whole roasted Pig), Anthony Bourdain once called it the best pig dish ever. These are a few of the most popular dishes in the Philippines.
With its close proximity to Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese food & flavours which European palates crave more and more, it’s the perfect time for Filipino cuisine and its unique medley of influences to take over.
