We have compiled a number of traditional delicacies from different regions all over the country to share with you the taste of truly delicious Filipino cuisines! The influences of our country's colonizers and visitors have greatly contributed to our wide array of Filipino cuisines. Some Chinese, Malay, Arab, Spanish, and American cuisines were adopted and modified to make it distinctly our own. The Spaniards, who colonized our country for more than 300 hundred years are the greatest contributors. About 80% of our native dishes have a Spanish influence. Some Filipinos regularly eat garlic and onions. These spices, which are usually found in our native cuisines, are believed to make the blood thinner and lower blood pressure. Rice is always part of the meal of Filipinos, because it is believed to give a person more strength. Aside from rice, fruits and vegetables, fish is also part of a Filipino's healthy diet.
