Top 10 Filipino Food: Most Popular Food in the Philippines (Famous Filipino Food)

The Philippines is located in Southeast Asia between the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. It consists of over 7000 islands. The three most important are Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.

Filipino cuisine is not only rich in distinctive flavors but also in history and culture that have evolved over the centuries – from its Austronesian origins to today's mixed cuisine of Malay Spanish Chinese and American influences.

Many may think that because of these influences Filipinos do not have a distinct cuisine that they can call their own but the uniqueness of Filipino cuisine comes from the addition of ingredients from all over the world. Instead of being completely influenced by other countries these foreign influences have been “Filipinized” creating a unique culinary culture and the foundation of Filipino flavors.
