As a Filipino-Chinese myself, I’m incredibly proud to see the rise of the Filipino cuisine in the Vancouver food scene. There are many local businesses across Vancouver and the lower mainland that serve up delicious Filipino food. It’s no wonder it’s trending!

But wait, what IS Filipino food?

Filipino food consists of flavours influenced by Spanish, Chinese and American cuisine. I like to describe Filipino food with the following 4 S words: sweet, salty, sour and saucy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty more flavours to drool over, but these are the top 4 in my books. I recommend enjoying your Filipino dishes with plain white rice or garlic fried rice.
