What are the characteristics of Philippine cuisine?

Philippine cuisine endless ocean and vast blue sky, warm white sand beaches and tall coconut trees, surprises and twists and turns. Unprecedented freshness and familiarity, 7 107 islands surround the western Pacific Ocean, and the flavor of the Philippines comes from all directions, both historical and present. Walking through the Philippines seems to have tasted the whole world. Looking for "taste" Manila is my first stop. As soon as I got off the plane, I was instantly conquered by this city. This is the purest Philippines. All kinds of people walking on the street, modern high-rise buildings, buses converted into various colors, solemn museums and chic shops. As we all know, Philippine cuisine is attractive because it combines the tastes of Spaniards, Americans, Malaysians and China as well as local traditional characteristics. The Philippines was colonized by Spain for more than 300 years, and was colonized by the United States for a short time. Today, the traces of Spain are still strong, and there are a large number of immigrants from China, which makes the diet structure of the Philippines more diverse. The introduction of American food style and the influence of local culture have intensified the combination with Filipinos' tastes. Manila should be a gathering place for all kinds of delicious food in the Philippines. The long-awaited bistro therapy, here I am. This ancient house, originally a private house, later became an antique shop and bookstore, and now it is a restaurant. Even if you once doubted the name of "the best Filipino food" on the plaque in front of the store, you will be deeply impressed by the food with strong European flavor here after tasting it. The specialty of the store is Philippine roast chicken, which is different from domestic roast chicken. The chicken here is cooked in traditional stoves in Spain and Portugal. After roasting, it is seasoned with fresh garlic, pepper and special sauce, which is more tasty and chewy than ordinary roast chicken. Bulalo is a very popular local soup, made of beef tendon and beef bone. The soup is thick and memorable, which is a rare food match. There is a kind of grilled fish in the shop which is also very popular. A big one separates the fish on both sides along the fish bones, and it is baked into tender golden color, which is eaten with strange spices and full of Filipino flavor. In Manila, as famous as here is a private restaurant "La Cocina de Tita Monine" near the presidential palace. The owner is Suzette, a Hispanic woman. In memory of her grandparents who died, her old house was transformed into such a restaurant full of love and nostalgia. Every guest who comes here is impressed by the owner's rich experience and various fashionable collections, especially the exquisite dishes cooked by this "grandma's kitchen". Here, you can eat Spanish food popular in the upper class at the end of 19, but it is different from other places because the shopkeeper joined the family tradition and improved the production. The production of signature paella is a typical example. The host used pork, chicken and Spanish sausage instead of traditional seafood as raw materials. Plus the local favorite white rice, tomato gravy is added many times during cooking, so that rice grains fully absorb the essence of soup, and the whole dish is more delicious and smooth than seafood. Sauteed palm kernel, which tastes like fried potatoes, is made of local plants and Spanish cooking techniques, providing tourists with a colonial feast that combines the characteristics of the two places. Today, Cebu is a rapidly developing metropolis with many hotels, shopping and entertainment places. It has become a must for tourists to visit the Philippines. Cebu, known as the "City of the Queen of the South", is the oldest city in the Philippines. Since Magellan sailed here and erected the cross representing Spain, this city has been known to everyone. Nowadays, Cebu is a rapidly developing metropolis with numerous hotels, shopping and entertainment places, which has become a must-see place for tourists to come to the Philippines. The uniqueness of Cebu lies not only in modernity, but also in its primitive Philippine feelings. The local characteristics of Cebu are more deeply reflected in the food. As we all know, roast suckling pig is the representative of Philippine specialty food, and the most distinctive roast suckling pig in the Philippines is in Cebu. Light House restaurant is one of the Philippine restaurants with elegant environment, authentic taste and reasonable price in Cebu. The suckling pigs in the store, as the key recommended specialties, are carefully selected and made. Different from the production methods in Guangdong and Hong Kong, the roast suckling pig in Cebu has been deeply branded in the Philippines after a long period of local circulation. Before roasting, the suckling pig should be hollowed out, filled with banana leaves and unique spices grown in this quaint land, and then slowly roasted on charcoal fire. During this period, the surface of pigskin should be painted with oil and local spices in Suwaite, so that the roasted suckling pigs will show attractive caramel color and make people covet. Roast suckling pigs often appear as the main course of banquets in the Philippines. There are many shops selling suckling pigs on the street, which can be bought by the catty, which shows that their popularity is extraordinary. Filipinos like to eat hot and sour food. Any dish, even soup, likes to be seasoned with spicy spices such as vinegar and a lot of garlic. The "Sour Soup" boiled with local specialty fresh fish, vegetables and sour vinegar is a Philippine-style soup that must be tasted in the restaurant of Light house. The sour taste not only dispels the hot feeling brought by hot weather, but also makes diners who have just enjoyed suckling pigs feel refreshed instantly. The combination of the two is the best choice for gourmets. How can you miss a seafood dinner when you come to the Philippines? Seafood is an indispensable landscape on the Philippine table. Want to eat? It's simple. Go to the seafood city, a famous local seafood city. As long as you like to eat, you can buy Laplapu fish, cardon fish, prawns and crabs. The seafood cooked by Cebu people is different from the steamed seafood preferred by China people. The taste is similar to that of Malays. More is baked, original, or with local spices, savoring, each has its own advantages. The Philippines, where the climate is hot and humid all the year round, has created the popularity of iced drinks. Halo-halo is the most famous and authentic fruit ice product in the Philippines. This freezing point, which means "mixing", is made of at least eight kinds of raw materials, such as cocoa beans, colorful fruits, soft sweets and smoothies. If you add two balls of coconut milk and purple taro sorbet, it will be sweet and smooth, relieving summer heat and benefiting summer. Known as the "fruit basket in the Pacific Ocean", there are always some local people who set up stalls in the streets to sell bottled water or fruits such as coconuts, mangoes and bananas. They look relaxed and happy, wash their own fruits, tidy up, greet every passing guest, and then send the tourists away with a smile. I think this should be an attitude of Filipinos, happy and simple, enjoying life. Think further. That's a good sentence. Loving food is a sign of loving life. Such a Philippines is related to food and connected with the promised land. "Philippines" often eats snacks and wants to eat all over the Philippines. It's not easy, but there are some delicious foods. If you miss them, you will have some regrets in this trip.
