Food and travel have always been inextricably linked. Our earliest memories of travel always had something to do with food: that buko pie you’ve always associated with trips to Laguna, the wealth of mangoes that always come after a trip from your parent’s province. or even the macapuno candy you made your ate buy you on the bus. Our remembrance of places will always have something to do with the tastes we’ll associate them with.
