The Pinoy Taste Bud


Filipino food is a mix of different tastes which is due to influences from different cultures. Chinese, Spanish and American tastes are some of the influences that we have integrated in our cuisine. However, we currently are trying to add the European cuisine to our menu. Basically, we Filipinos just love food.

Filipinos eat at least 4 times a day excluding the meriendas and snacks. To think that we Filipinos are short and thin, we are able to eat this much in a day. Filipinos are never too far from food. There are restaurants, fast-food chains, and many more that are scattered in every corner of the country. We are just a couple of steps away from food which is why we have the luxury of eating at least 4 times a day.

Our love for food can be seen when we have family gatherings. It is in these events that we fill the whole table with numerous meals. These are the best meals one can find in the Philippines and of course the family specialty. Our love for food also is the reason for why we get to inherit different recipes for the family specialties. Different recipes are passed on to succeeding generations because these are considered a families prized possession.
