Food makes us happy. But as much as we love some foods, others hate them like we never could imagine and even said, “I would rather be hungry than eat Filipino Street food again”. Yes. Filipino food. Filipinos are fun of eating delicious yet affordable foods like the street food. These are foods displayed beside the streets literally and are usually fried or grilled. The country’s cuisine has been shaped by a number of factors, such as diverse foreign influences from the Malays and the Spanish to the Americans and the Chinese, as well as the varied cultures, traditions, and socio-economic circumstances in every region. But while a lot of inspiration comes from their colonizers, occupiers and immigrants, Pinoys are ingenious cooks who have created—and continue to create—fresh, flavorful dishes out of borrowed recipes, each with an undeniable Filipino twist that may be attributed to indigenous cooking techniques, homegrown ingredients, or family kitchen secrets.
