Filipino cuisine is a bold blend of Malay, Spanish, Chinese, and American influences shaped by over 7,000 islands. It's characterized by a balance of sour, salty, and savory flavors. Signature dishes include adobo (meat braised in vinegar and soy sauce), sinigang (sour tamarind soup), lechon (whole roasted pig), kare-kare (oxtail peanut stew), and lumpia (fried spring rolls).
Filipino food is generally not spicy compared to Southeast Asian neighbors like Thai or Vietnamese cuisine. The dominant flavors are sour, salty, and savory (umami). Some dishes use chili peppers as a condiment, but heat is typically mild and diners can control it. This makes Filipino food approachable for those who avoid spicy food.
Filipino adobo is a cooking method where meat (usually chicken or pork) is braised in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves until tender and deeply flavored. Often considered the national dish of the Philippines, adobo varies by region — some versions use coconut milk, others are dry-fried for crispy results.
