Philippines - Filipino Cuisine

Philippine cooking and foods have evolved over the centuries from its Malayo-Polynesian origins to a mixed cuisine with many Hispanic or Spanish, Chinese, American, and other surrounding Asian influences adapted to both indigenous ingredients and the local palate. Rice, soy sauce, and fish sauce has been used in the Philippines for thousands of years since the Austronesian people first settled on the island nation.
