Rich and Powerful. . . Philippine Cuisine





In a country where happiness reigns supreme, it is no wonder how delectable every moment is when spent anywhere in its 7,107 islands. From one end to another, you will be treated to an array of festive merrymaking and celebrations that will surely have your cameras full with still and moving images – like any other.

Celebrations in the country is nothing compared in any other parts of the globe. I may be biased as I am Filipino born and raised but having spent time abroad, it's different when you are home. The vast dining table displaying sumptuous Filipino food recipes is a staple in any household.

True, the Philippines is not as financially endowed as the others but our ability to rise above challenges is what sets us apart from the rest. Every dish and recipe has a history. It has a story.. it is in itself a delicious story that holds forth secrets of the past.

From one recipe of adobo to another, kalderetang kambing to baka and even to exotic favorites, Philippine cuisine has truly made an impact to the world. Not only is our dishes easy on the budget and easy to prepare but they too are flavorful and savory unlike any other. We do not compromise the taste; neither do we compromise the ingredients used.

Fresh ingredients abound every where you look. From local produce to seafoods, the Philippines is a chestful of eveything you need for a feast. Not only that, for us Filipinos, cooking is already a feast in itself. With merrymaking as a primordial factor, nothing in the country is done without a smile in our faces.

When visiting the country, make sure to come during the festival season – which is, by the way, all year round. Do not plan on a definite itinerary. Instead, follow where your nose and feet leads you. Commute and experience rubbing elbows with the locals. Eat with them and you'll be in for a surprise. Here's a tip: the best tasting dishes are not found inside the malls!

With a bountiful harvest, expect nothing but the best tasting Philippine cuisine dishes from anywhere in the country. If you cannot seem to get enough (which is likely to happen), we too have a number of souvenir shops that carry a wide selection of food choices that represent each region in the country!
