Filipino cuisine is an exciting fusion of Malay-Polynesian, Chinese, Spanish and American influences. It is characterized by its unique combination of sour, salty (alat) and sweet (tamis) flavors. Rice is the mainstay of every meal, and vinegar, soy sauce, and calamansi (a local lime) are essential ingredients in your pantry.
Unofficially considered the national dish, adobo is a stew that can be chicken, pork, or both, marinated and simmered in a sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Each family has its own recipe, but the result is always a tasty and comforting dish.
A sour and flavorful soup that defines the Filipino love for sour flavors. Traditionally, the acidity comes from tamarind, but other fruits such as calamansi or kamias can also be used. It is prepared with meat (pork, beef) or fish and a wide variety of vegetables.
The star dish of any celebration. It is a whole pig slowly roasted over charcoal until the skin is incredibly crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. The Cebu pig is particularly famous throughout the country.

Inherited from Spanish cuisine, it is an incredibly rich and creamy egg flan. The Filipino version uses a lot of egg yolks and condensed milk, which gives it a denser texture and more intense flavor than traditional flan.
