Not filipino but I was posted there for a few months for work.

So, I'll share my favourite

  • Longsilog / Tocino (I had them for breakfast the most while there. lol. That and golden brown waffles from Pancake House)
  • Sinigang (Western tastebud might need to get used to it)
  • Adobo (all time favourite!)
  • Inasal (Make sure you dip the vinegar and calamansi)
  • Liempo (Love the way they marinate the meat)

There's also snacks like Lumpia, Turon, Lechon....etc

A lot of seafood did. Oysters were cheap, and the rich wouldn't consider eating them. Same with eels.

As soon as something becomes more expensive, it is a delicacy that the upper classes want to have.

White bread was another example, since it required extra processing. For much of their history, the poor had a better balanced diet than the rich. Even when a food is relatively cheap to produce, crazes like "superfoods" will drive the price up. Quiona is a good example. Its a cheap staple for many in south America. But the price has exploded in recent years. Certainly good for farmers and those associated with the industry, but not great for those at the bottom of society

What OP posted is basically Hong Kong dimsum menu.

Kim Pung is like Lo Mai Gai (glutinous rice chicken).

So you can just go to any Chinese restaurant that serve dimsum and order the similar dishes.

If you come across any Filipino restaurant, you should order authentic filipino dishes instead of these. There's so many delicious dishes that make you savour for more. lol
