Guys, I compiled 15 (plus more) MOST FAMOUS FILIPINO FOOD IN 1 POST, and I hope you try some of them.
I was not an avid cook growing up. My experience in cooking was pretty much watching my mom and uncles cook and while I was in charged in cutting the veggies or slicing the meat. But when I came here in the US, I was forced to cook out of necessity; or else, my family will get hungry. Below is the collage of Filipino food I learned to cook here in the USA. I actually compiled 15 most famous Filipino Food in One (1) post for you, guys to have an easy access to to the recipes. Just click on the link and it will direct you to the recipe.
Filipino food, when I compare it to American food, has more complex flavor. You will experience various flavors,texture and smell in a viand. For example, with the Adobo, the flavor is a combination of sweet, sourness and an ooze of sweetness. In our Filipino desser, Pichi pichi, it is sweet and “sticky,” and when it is rolled with fresh shredded coconut, there is a taste of creaminess almost similar to milk.
So many people are averse of Filipino food because they are unhealthy. With Lumpia, it is deep fried and with Lechon Kawali, it is pretty much a “PUTOK BATOK” meaning it will burst your arteries into pieces due to its oiliness.But we love those meals. Be mindful though, that these “unhealthy” meals are not consumed everyday due to financial constraints; so they are usually eaten maybe once a week, or even once a year for fiestas.

Thanks for sharing all your recipes! I’ve had I’ve had lumpia, adobo, and pancit before-all so delicious! Looks like I have some new ones to try now too. Yum!
You have all my favourites here!! Except for Halo Halo and Filipino Spaghetti. I used to request the spaghetti every time I visited my aunt!!
Halo halo is the best.
This list is like a bucket list for me! I have had lumpia, adobo and pichi pichi before and loved every bite and I totally understand that these are all sometimes things, cuz we don’t need deep fried every day ;D But as far as picking and trying authentic Filipino foods – I have got to scratch a few more off the list.
Amazing collection of recipes. I love to try different cuisines and I must confess, haven’t had a chance to try filipino recipes yet! Can’t wait to try a few of these delicious recipes!
I have definitely tried a few things on that list , now I’m definitely going to try making them myself , thanks for sharing !
I’ve been wanting to venture out with other types of ethnic foods and this seems like the perfect list to pick from. I’m specifically interested the Pochero and Biko!!
We love adobo but we haven’t really tried any other Filipino dishes. But this looks like a great entry into the flavors and foods. I think the Kare Kare and Scotch egg will be first on my list!
Good luck!!
I’m not familiar – at all – with Filipino food, but if you say it’s very flavorful then I’m in! Wonderful round-up to start my adventure!
I’ve never had authentic Filipino food and, after looking at your post, I e seriously been missing out! The hardest part will be deciding which one to try first!
What a great collection of filipino food. I am not super familiar with filipino food but I’m always up for trying new food and recipes.
I have only had Filipino food once, and loved it. Thanks for sharing these recipes, I’m going to give some of them a try
Hi Shobee ..Thanks for sharing so many yummy FILIPINO recipes in one post. One of my dear friends and coworkers came to the US when she was 5 from the Philippines. I am always excited to see what she will bring to Potlucks at work. Now I have a great research to recreate some of these fabulous dishes .
Thanks, Debbie!
This collection looks amazing! I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t tried any of that but that should change!
I have NEVER tried ANY Filipino food. So many great things in this roundup. Now….I either have to make them, or head into Toronto and find them.
Yeah, I heard that there’s a lot of Filipino resto in Toronto. They even have our famous food chain,Jollibee built in there just recently.
