Filipinos abroad are too assimilated and afraid to stand up for Filipino culture because we have these mindset that we are in a foreign land and we should be mindful of the country we are settling in -as to Filipino culture of “pakisama.” Meanwhile, Filipinos at home are too proud and sometimes out of place claiming everything from other countries (being patriotism is one thing and being arrogant about it is another).
Most filipino cuisine represented are mainly from luzon. Southern Philippines especially in the moro communities represent some more authentic pre hispanic similar to malaysian and indonesian cuisine.
If u bring Ginataang Langka, Ginataang Puso ng Saging Ginataang Kalabasa and Sitaw, Laing...and all Filipino vegetable dishes....im sure Americans and evwn Europeans will love it. Its time for Filipinos to eat more vegetables, rather than always meat and pork
The reason is because of westernization. We embrace culture from western countries and most of filipino prefer their foods, product, etc. Because it feels like luxury.
Filipino food needs to adapt to fit the western/American palette. Cuisines from other countries have done it thus allowing same gains in popularity. Filipino dishes may never gain the popularity of other Asian cuisines but it should have a place in ethnic food choices in the U.S. While these changes may alter specific dishes that it may not be 100% traditional, it is still authentic Filipino.
Amalgamaite Austronesians include Malay people, and groups from Hainan, China to Taiwan. To say Austronesians can't be Asian is the same as Indonesians, Malaysians, Taiwanese, and certain Chinese people ARE NOT ASIAN. Also, if you look at origins of Polynesians, they more likely to come from Asian Austronesians who travelled west into the Pacific. So you really can't say Filipinos are Polynesians. Stop making things up. FILIPINOS ARE ASIANS.
The sad truth about the food culture of Filipino's is that they would rather explore foreign cuisines than their own. And sadly, not much Filipinos care enough to educate themselves about their own cuisine.
Leon mp I'm not saying they don't eat Filipino food. What I'm saying is the lack of interest in exploring Filipino cuisines (ex. native dishes, authentic Pampanga recipes, or regional dishes). I'm a Filipino in the Philippines so I know what we eat here. I'm saying is expanding the knowledge of our very own authentic dishes.
Rica's Homey Space if I remember it right when you go to food courts in manila malls, there's lot of them, you'll find native dishes from different provinces, i.e. night dish (gabi), bicol express, sisig, lechon, and all kinds of sweets from different regions, etc. so who eat those? foreighn tourists? I bet you mostly filipinos, no?
You’re my heroine ms ponseca! Another reason (I’m guessing) why you don’t see a lot of Filipino restaurants in the states is because we speak English so we assimilate easier than other Asians who have to open up a restaurant to survive. What do you guys think?
I think it’s just hard to represent Filipino culture because it’s not very singular. It’s so regional and varied that one part of the country barely represents the totality. In turn there is also sense of local competition and disagreements on what the culture really is and how food should be prepared.
our food is very tasty it just lack presentation, i think we should change the mindset that looks don't matter and that the one only important thing is how it taste!!!
That's true. But we eat with our eyes first, don't you think? And I believe a little bit of effort put in presentation will go a long way in introducing more people to the cuisine.
You can put a "spin" on almost any food to make it more presentable and taste better, but the bottom line is that Filipino food (common foods eaten in the Philippines) is generally not great tasting. Unless you stick with bbq'd fish and chicken, and green veggies and soups, everything else is high in salt, fats, and sugar, and much of it is fried. Not all that appetizing or healthy.
We represent our country and culture through our food so i dont think we should be proud of it has a Filipino as long as we are not doing anything wrong at all.
What the Philippines needs to lower in in its food is in its oils and fats. That is the weakness we have against, say, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine. And, sadly, it shall remain highly unpopular unless some serious action is done.
It's so sad how Filipinos are so ignorant about our own culture that we've swallowed stereotypes imposed on our food by foreigners. There are lots of Filipino dishes that contain little to no fat. It just so happens that the more popular ones are rich, fatty, meat-based dishes because they either represent fiesta fare (food reserved for special occasions, which are not meant for regular consumption) or cheap, calorie-dense foods suited for the working class engaged in manual labor (which are not suited for modern jobs that require little to no physical activity). In both cases, the problem isn't with the food per se but the choices people make about the food. There's nothing inherently unhealthy about Filipino food; it's our food choices that are unhealthy.
Invisible Minority A lot of papers have been written about this. All it takes is a little research, made even easier with ease of access of the internet. Every Filipino had an American ancestor. As nearly every Filipino from 1901 until 1935 was an American National (same status which American Samoans have today).
As a Filipino, I give credit to the colonizers and the immigrants in my country. I'm not going to glorify the mass murders but I would give credit to the technology and civilization. Besides, tons of Filipino men migrated in the USA and consummated with American women in the early 1700's, mostly with the natives and it was vice versa in the Philippines. Basically what I'm saying is, the American lineage is just as important to me along with the Malay, Polynesian, Spanish, Lumad, Igorot, Chinese, Aeta, Mexican roots. That is the definition of a Filipino. People with MIXED ETHNICITY. Take it or leave it, that is the truth.
Food needs to be heathy. Raw eggs isn't a good idea. Eating with your hands isn't smart. Bacteria and after food you can't handle any paper with greasy fingers.
Balut is a street food; A fertilized egg =/= a plain raw egg. I don't know how hygienic you are personally, but you should know how clean your hands are- You don't know how clean the cutlery is in a restaurant. Just like with any other gimmicky restaurant, they'd likely have something to help you clean grease off your hands.
rawstarmusic hmmm does not even know balut is boiled... It is not RAW... and besides some people in america are eating cray fish by hand. so what is the difference???
Tonz Lang There is a mysterious doublestandard here. People working with food must use gloves or wash their hands, especially afteer toilet!! Wear a protective hat etc but guests don't clean their hands before eating?? Then what's the point with hygiene? Where have your hands been prior to meal? Subway or lots of different public areas? It's all on your hands when eating. There are clean tools to use. I wonder when I see people in indian restaurants eating wet food, like what are they doing? Then why clean the kitchen tools?
rawstarmusic rawstarmusic medically you got to be exposed to those germs sometimes. it is for your body to build the antibodies you need. being very hygienic is not good for you heath either... it means poor resistance and more exposure to synthetic medications that have side effects...
Tonz Lang You don't know when you stumble upon bad micro organisms. Somewhere you have been where a sick person has been. Doing it regularly the risk is great.

Amalgamaite filipinos are asians. I don't know what you mean by mainland asians.
asians do not equate to persons with monoeyelid tsss
Amalgamaite -YOU ARE DUMB.

Rica's Homey Space are you sure?
rico estaras yep I'm sure. I'm referring to Filipinos in the Philippines though. Not all but most.
Rica's Homey Space I think you're wrong. 99% of filipinos in the philippines eat filipino cuisine.

"Filipino parents don't want us to take risky jobs" wtf Filipinos take any job!!!!!
Do you want your child take risky job?

Ah! Racial identity and the belief that your pride has been taken away from you. What could go wrong with that?
