The Top Ten Most Popular Dishes of the Philippines

Food from the Philippines 

The Philippines is a tropical archipelago with a vast range of ethnic groups, stunning scenery, colourful cultures and amazing food. Diversity of cuisine is not unusual in South East Asian countries, but Filipino food is somewhat unique. Its complex and varied history really gives it an East meets West dimension. In particular, the Spanish influence is strong, as it was a Spanish colony for over 300 years from 1565.  Here are some of its top dishes, including a few national dishes of the Philippines.

1. Adobo
2. Lumpia
3. Inasal
4. Pancit
5. Sinigang
6. Cassava Cake
7. Arroz Caldo
8. Chicharon
