Pinoy's culinary background can be well traced from different ancestry, Chinese, American, Mexican, India, Spanish etc.
Infact, most of our gastronomic influences came from the Spaniards, as shown in the names of our dishes and in the manner of their preparation.
This colonial period marked a big difference on Filipino cuisine - from the traditional fiesta foods such as Galantina, Paella, etc. It has now evolved into a haven of many cultural transformations. However, a truly exotic Pinoy's bests are innovative and fancy with variety.
Here are two of the most popular innovations: first, is the Crispy Pata, which credited as the invention of a daring Filipino restaurateur in the 70's. It has become a pulutan fare.
Second, is Lechon Manok. These recipes become an instant hit in the 80's - side by side with the invention of the improvised ingenuity. Likewise, it has become an easy source of income among the enterprising mass-based entrepreneur.
The Filipino delights and the incomparable Filipino hospitality are truly satisfaction!
