Filipino cuisine is one of the most fascinating fusion cuisines of the world. Because of its strategic position between China, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific, many people have left their mark on the country and its cuisine. Many nations have also tried to conquer it, and several were even successful, like Spain and the United States. As such, Filipino cuisine has influences from around the world. You can find many hearty Spanish-influenced dishes, 1950s-style American dishes, Chinese-inspired dishes, and many more dishes that reflect native flavors and techniques. The following list includes some of our best Filipino recipes from creamy ice box cakes and sweet American-inspired spaghetti to complex Spanish rice dishes and pork stews. Wondering where to start? These crispy treats are like dessert spring rolls filled with ripe plantain and sweet jackfruit. If you can’t get a hold of plantains, bananas will also work but the filling will get a little mushy. While not traditional, these are really great topped with some ice cream.
