Why is Filipino food so underrated?

Filipino food is distributed entirely through kindly neighbours, they don't usually run restaurants.

There's a huge Flip population here and the closest they get to the food industry is staffing a mcdonald's.

>>8681708
it's not underatted. it genuinely sucks. filipino's can't cook for shit.

Because Filipino food is a great plebfilter
Plebs don't know how to mix rice with the meals(things like adobo NEEDS rice or else it's too salty), and that all asian cuisine is either noodles or curry.

Example of a pleb
>>8681828

I will never forget the time I tried sisig (spelling?) in the middle of the night at some market. It's fucking rough-chopped pig's ear. How the hell is it so delicious?!

Then lechon baboy... Sure, every culture that ever slow-roasted suckling pig made a fucking tasty meal, but in the Philippines, it's also served as a roadside snack! In honesty, in my younger years I preferred lechon manok, but that was mainly because I could get a whole one to myself... Balance it out with a green mango side & some locally brewed San Miguel...

Then there's super simple comfort food, like arroz caldo... Or a big fuckoff bowl of ube ice cream... Pansit canton with a load of calamansi... This dude >>8681990 knows whats up with adobo & plenty of steamed white rice.

>It's fucking rough-chopped pig's ear. How the hell is it so delicious?!
Sisig is fucking delicious indeed. One shouldn't judge food depending on what part of the animal it's from

It's actually pork face, pork ears and maybe some pork belly chopped up, and made crispy
Some restaurants actually add pork brain too, which actually doesn't taste anything and gives a good texture, but it's not common

It's my favorite dish desu, with some mayo


Not even a Flip

Flip food is great. Dinuguan takes a bit getting used to, but is great. Pancit and lumpia are great and accessible to many. That tamarind soup is also great on a warm day.

Also why are halo halo so underrated? It's the red beans isn't it?

Gotta add that one of my favorite things to do is go to the local 24/7 lugawan around midnight, order a bowl of goto lugaw topped with crispy garlic(add chili sauce, fish sauce and calamansi to it) along with a cold Mountain Dew or San Miguel and some fried tokwa dipped in soy sauce and vinegar

All this while feeling the chilly midnight breeze and the calmness of the neighborhood, where the only things I hear are crickets and some karaoke going on in the distance

Dem feels, 2comfy4me miss being in Philippines now

>>8681990
I agree, only plebs can't appreciate the true genius that is filipino cuisine.

>>8682102
>That tamarind soup
Oh holy crap, sinigang is absolutely sensational, top tier stuff.
I grew up eating Flip lumpia, 80+% meat, and spent most of my life being disappointed to the point of disgust at what passes for spring rolls in Western countries. Hell, even those Vietnamese prawn & pork rolls were on thin ice due to the heavy veggie content, until I swiftly realized on eating some good ones that they have their own flavour balance very well done & deserve respect in their own right. But still, Filipino lumpia always holds a great place in my palate's heart.

>>8682282
That's just fallout from the American influence in the country.

>>8682361
Yes, you are correct. That video was a satire of foreign food. Even so, I'd stand that recipe next to some dormbro's faux carbonara-on-a-budget.

Because their food is terrible, their favorite food is basically spaghetti with hot dogs and ketchup.

Or through Filipino parties/family get-togethers. So much food.

Filipino food is disgusting. Filipino women are among the ugliest in a continent known for beautiful women.

Filipino here. I hate flip food. I grew up with it. I am somewhat glad I grew up with crap food. It makes me grateful for the other foods out there. I'm pretty low maintenance with food to the point where many things are delicious to me.

Flip food already is poor man's food. My family went even further and made meals that are on the poorer status of flips. Like nilaga. Fuck nilaga.

As someone dating a Filipina, this is true. A few good dishes in a sea of awful unappetizing garbage.

>>8681708
We have some Filipino restaurants near where I live.

So far, almost all suck.

However, there is one restaurant that made some nasty adobo yet some delicious beef inihau (forget how to spell it correctly).

Restaurant shuts down.

>>8681708
It's not underrated. It's rated appropriately. No hate on my Pinoy brothers and sisters, but every other Asian cuisine has got you beat by miles. Flip food is just derivative of superior and/or more original sources. Fucking we all can do rice and meat.

>>8681990
Why is filipino food so damn salty?

>>8682906
That guy's right though. Why's your shrimp dick getting all fussy?

>>8682102
Looks overly sweet

Recently went on an international food tour of local Asian cuisines the last year or so (since there's a lot of authentic places I've found on google), and I have to say something:
1. Thai food is really overrated. I had some and my thoughts on several of their dishes was that. Their fried dumplings were not impressive, especially compared to the Korean/Chinese/Japanese versions. Their soup was like milk that aged too much, reminds me of drinking old milk. Their phanaeng curry was very similar to Japanese curry (which was based on British curry, not Indian). I did enjoy their salad.
2. Laotian cuisine was a bit weirder to my tastes. It was like "eating perfume" if I was honest about it, but the larb was good, but nothing to brag about. The crunchy rice thing you put in lettuce/cabbage leaf didn't really impress.
3. Restaurant Filipino food is a hit-and-miss whereas other cuisines generally don't fuck up. Sometimes it's too watery, or, it's too dry. Or they add some weird Western flavor that you normally don't have in the Philippines (like cinnamon). Restaurant sinigang/dinuguan that is too watery is not something you'd ever want to eat/sip.
All three were from restaurants that had really good scores (almost perfect) on the restaurant scoring sites.
Now, I'm actually trying to find Indonesian, Malaysian, and Singaporean food, to do more comparisons.
If I ever find Singaporean food, I will obviously try Hainanese chicken rice, since it's supposedly the best food they've got.

>>8683854
Nilaga is really suck. It literally is just boiled stuff. No zest, no nothing. It's like yakitori or a bad bowl of la mian. No real flavor.

>>8684504
I dunno. I rate Filipino food higher than Thai, Laotian, super authentic Sichuan (it's like punishing eating this), Indian, Levantine, Persian, and western Chinese.
I initially thought Vietnamese was superior to Filipino food, but I had some of their thicker stew noodles and I went nope. They're pretty much on the same level.

>>8683021
>>8683046
Don't knock on that shit. Flip spaghetti's actually pretty good.

>>8684650
It can be crap if the hotdog is too salty. I think they have their own version of hotdogs that aren't salty.

>>8684647

good god you're rating filipino food better than thai and viet?

you need to re-adjust your rating system. A lot of shit in this world tastes good to different people but we're rating cuisine based on techniques and ingenuity of use of the country's natural resources to make a cultural dish

half the shit filipino food is mainly soaking and cooking it in salt and eating it with rice

>>8684678
Reading comprehension.
I thought Vietnamese was superior, but after trying their thicker stew noodles, the decision was that they are on the same level.
Rating cuisine based on techniques and "ingenuity" makes no sense. The Chinese can make ingenuous cooking techniques for eating actual giant bugs (which I saw Anthony Bourdain eat in one of his China trips) and that won't make it better in my personal ranking if I eat the damn dish and it tastes like rubber.

>>8681708
It's pretty good. Won't say it's haute cuisine, but it's pretty good.

>>8684690
It's hot if you microwave it

>>8684647

>>8683966
>Also fucked your mum last night and she was quite satisfied and even gave me a text not too long ago for seconds...

With flip dick? Kek

It's fucking disgusting. I used to eat before going to Flip parties. Dry as fuck. Like literally just dry fried meat and plain rice. I couldn't get it down. And I'm Indian. So if an Indian can't get rice down it's some awful shit. And it's unhealthy as well. Ever seen their life expectancies? Even in foreign countries. They have good desserts though I'll give them credit.

I was in the Philippines for a while for work. I think my favorite single dish was PUSIT, aka cuttlefish. It was prepared in a variety of ways, but "grilled" was always great.

>>8684678
And then deep frying it with no other condiments or flavours of any kind. Awful.

>>8684745
I have never heard of Filipino deep fried food before.
>>8684678
I have never seen that claim of salt in half of Filipino food, but the rice makes sense. That's their noodle.
>>8684716
Pork chops is not really a good indication of traditional Filipino food.

Sisig is a good dish to have with some beer. Same with Bicol Express.

>>8681708
Dry adobo is not that good in my estimation. I enjoy soupy versions of adobo.

Bicol Express

>>8684745
entire region deep fries in the same way 2bh

>>8684716
That's most likely because you ate adobo that hasn't been marinated for more than an hour or so

Adobo NEEDS to be marinated for a day in the fridge. If so, it's tender and juicy as fuck. These party hosters probably had too much to make so they marinated it shortly. Then it turns salty and dry

Take tocino for example. The best one put into marinade in the morning and then cooked the morning after
HNNNG too good and juicy

>>8684871
this
I've been to Thailand, China and Philippines
Their streetfood is generally deep fried with some spice powder. It generally tastes very good if the streetfood vendor knows how to deep fry it properly. If they don't, it's just dry inedible garbage

Was in phillipines for A month recently. I ordered 30 yum burgers from jollibees. I also had a bunch of traditional homecooking, lots of sweet fish dishes.

>>8683021
I have absolutely no idea what you find wrong about a simple and efficient dish like that.

>>8684935
Where are you from out of curiosity? I've spent a fair bit of time in indo and Malaysia but never been to flipland. I'm sure the traffic there will be the same. Fucked in terms of Western countries.

>>8684504
>Flip food is just derivative of superior and/or more original sources
Holy shit this, to be honest the reason why is underrated is because of the fact that due to filipino culture being based from so many other cultures, the food culture is just a mess, it's either a pale imitation (i.e. adobo=> spaniards already made it, pancit => Chinese already made stir fry noodles, etc.) just americanized shit, basically flip cuisine is just a bunch of recipes made to be "original" but literally the same recipes from other countries with slight changes.

>>8685025
actually underrated in the sense that it's just not good in comparison to others.

"Spanish" food is already culturally appropriated from Moors and Basques and filtered through the long lens of Acapulco proxy administration therefore you forgot to include Mexican food influence, I suggest you apologize to the Mexican people right now. Also many Spaniards would consider themselves Basques first or Catalans first or Aragonese, and Spaniards only second, so the concept of "Spanish" food is somewhat racist and othering.

"Chinese" (by which I assume you racistly mean "Hui people" food since Zheng He brought noodles to the flips) is culturally appropriated from the Majiayao peoples of the upper Huang Hue basin, the fact that you are essentially diminishing their accomplishments is a form of micro-aggression against their memory.

"American" is a social construct and consists of appropriated cuisines and traditions of African and European peoples. The fact that you would lump together all of our food as a monolithic "shit" is deeply upsetting and rather bigoted I might add, and as an African America whose great grandfather served in World War 2 and brought chitlins to the Filipino people who later re-imagined them as the vibrant "sisig", I am deeply concerned that your notion of "American" is limited to McDonalds and other White, Jim Crow-based foods

Please delete your post before someone gets offended.

>>8685025
>adobo
Filipino adobo is completely different with a completely different origin. It's only called adobo, because the spainard in the 16th century found it similar looking

Filipino cuisine, like Thai, Malay and Viet, has alot of Chinese influence, specifically the pancit canton, siomai, lugaw and others.
Though this is definately not the only dishes it offers. There are far more than that

Not very familiar with Filipino food. I've had lechon though and it was pretty fucking good.

>>8681828
This is very true. They can't cook for shit. The whole fucking country

>>8681708
Part flip here. For the most part I don't like the cuisine. Its so greasy which is why most flips have heart problems when they get old. However, there are some good fucking food too. My favorites are (i) the inihaw dishes such as liempo and pusit, (ii) the beef stews such as mechado, bulalo, caldereta, and of course (iii) stuff like sisig and lechon. Restaurants in the metro also offer Spanish stuff like paella adapted for Filipino taste. I really think that the inihaw and roast dishes wih their salty and sour taste (probably from the lemongrass, soy sauce, and calamansi) are my favorite parts. I'd like to note though that I'm tagalog which means I'm ignorant to cuisines from other regions.

Like other anon said, filipino food should be eaten with heaps of white rice.

I have a good story here
>have Flip friend in US
>decides to go to PH with him to visit his family
>first day, he takes me to try streetfood
>he gives me this deep fried baby chick on a stick
>at first I am confused and not sure what to do, but he offers me $10 to eat it, so I decide to munch it with spicy vinegar
>it's actually really damn delicious

>>8685399
all these but also inasal
The soy sauce, calamansi and atsuete oil marinade has to be the best kind of marinade I've ever tasted.
Whenever there's a BBQ party here, I always marinate my stuff in that

Of course, you can't like everything of a single cuisine. Me for instance, don't like all of the food from Japan or China either.

>>8685509
Forgot to say that I heard from some that adobo is really greasy, but the one I ate was all fine and didn't seem particularly greasy but rather caramelized

I visited ph during break while studying in Japan. I found the grease levels somewhat tough on my stomach but ate a lot of delicious food anyway. I like their desserts, also taho (sp?), reminded me of some Korean dessert drink I had.

Mainly the thing was everything was dirt cheap anyway.

>>8685509
Oh fuck I forgot about inasal. Very good too.

On the adobo thing, yeah most filipinos put too much oil in it. But the better cooks tend to make it less greasy and more succulent. The bayleaf flavor in it really does it for me, imho.

>>8685532
Flip sweets and bread are very nice. Stuff like champorado (glutinous rice with cocoa powder served with condensed milk), leche flan (a milk pudding) and ofc halo halo. The breads in the older parts of Manila are very good too. They're very much influenced by Chinese bakeries with how sweet and soft the breads are.

>>8685532
You should have gone to La Trinidad and get some strawberry taho
You can't die without trying that

>>8685560
>On the adobo thing, yeah most filipinos put too much oil in it. But the better cooks tend to make it less greasy and more succulent.

The trick is to remove most of the oil after you've fried the potatoes or garlic/onion. That way, the greasiness is mostly gone

>>8684842
Nilaga is garbage. Do you really like that stuff?

Anything other than caldereta and the roast pork (the whole pig thing) is shit tier

those two are god tier though

>>8684647
The best SE Asian food I've ever had was Indonesian. It's hands down the best from that region. I adore Rifsttafel now.

>>8681708
phillipinos are the pickiest eaters I've ever met. lived in Japan for a long time and there are lots of phillipinos there. they wont ever just shut up and eat what's in front of them, they have to go full Vegan mode and ask what every ingredient is and then judge the fucking dish on it, usually knocking the food back half the time.

Just wish they'd shut up and eat what they're given to be honest.

I think its because most people who make the menus for these place use fucktarded recipes. I have never had good restaurant sinigang, or most of the stews and soups for that matter. They also tend to under season their shit. The only Filipino dishes I actually like that is not baked goods or desserts is my mom's cooking.

News at '11

>>8687479
not really. they've already spun it dozens of ways via their fake news/facebook network. filipinos with their limited attention span have already forgotten all about this (it's not even featured on their daily news anymore)

Half flip here, grew up in the country but been living abroad for a couple of years now.
Filipino cuisine isn't shit per se, it's just that the food culture is fucking horrible. Greasy, salty and sweet is what the majority often tend to causing them to die of diabetes/heart attacks. Very little culinary tradition left also, a shit ton of traditional dishes mostly died after world war II with the massive population boom and cheap shit ingredients. Which is why you'll never find an amazing filipino restaurant, at best they'll be decent incorporating enough foreign techniques to add some refinement but unfortunately still catering to the average filipino palette.
However if you happen to visit the country and are actually lucky enough to find decent cooks there's a shit ton of interesting stuff under the hood.
Not only do you have access to cheap and fresh ingredients, some that would be practically impossible to find anywhere else ranging from exotic fruits/fishes, seaweeds, roots and leaves, wild lemongrass, cheap abalone, rare varietals of coffee, etc. But the idiosyncrasies of the filipino palette gives out some interesting dishes mixed with the local ingredients.
Passing on the bbq/sisig/lechon/kawali/adobo and other greasy shit you got dishes like sinigang, karekare, laing, wild chicken coconut stew, bicol express, dinuguan, champorado with dried fish etc. Though my personal favorite remains kinilaw, which is a half cooked ceviche, where the fresh fish marinates for a few seconds to a couple of minutes in a combination of ginger/garlic/chillies/coconut milk(optional)/calamansi and of course any sort of vinegar.Filipinos love vinegar of all sorts, lots of it lost knowledge since everyone buys cheap shit, but from palm vinegar, to coconut, mango, sugar and rice can be found. They also love their fermented shrimp paste and fermented anchovies(which you can choose the number of weeks fermented).
It just didn't get the french influence like other SEA countries had.

On the way back to combat my future hangover i'd stop for a fresh coconut by the side of the sea, close to where I lived, and if lucky get to drink the juice while watching the sun rise by the sea with the fresh air breeze and the sound of the waves.

My boss convinced me when I was drunk to eat Balut.

That was the most vile, revolting thing I've ever eaten in my life and gave me terrible stomach aches and heartburn for days afterwards.

we were the tactical turning point for ww2, whoever got control of PI won WW2 due to location. How do you fight a war across waters without a resupply point

Singaporean here
Chicken rice is made even better with the right chilli
Chilli crab, Katong laksa and bak kut teh are also solid representative foods that are worth a try if you can find a decent place

Also there is a considerable amount of overlap between Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine
I'd say Singaporean cuisine draws very heavily from Chinese and Western sources while Indonesian would be more representative of the "native culture" so to speak
Malaysian cuisine is somewhere in between and is actually very similar to Singaporean cuisine in many respects, to the extent that many foods are shared and pretty much identical in preparation and ingredients; some dishes however have regional variations that are quite distinctive

>>8692887
Nah, is fine
We're fine with Malaysians in general I'd say
Their government is a laughing stock though

>>8692894
pot calling kettle black

>>8692953

>>8692894
but your people is the laughing stock
