What is Filipino Food?
Filipino cuisine is a bold and exciting blend of influences – Indigenous, Malay, Spanish, Chinese, American, South American, Southeast Asian, and Arabic – shaped by centuries of trade and tradition.
You’ll find:
- Sweet and savoury combinations (like banana ketchup on BBQ)
- Sour flavours from tamarind or vinegar
- Spicy and garlicky condiments for dipping or cooking
- Coconut, soy sauce, calamansi and other tropical ingredients
It’s a cuisine of contrast and comfort – and it’s made for sharing.
