Food from the Philippines is a diverse mixture of heritage and culture, thus making it unique from the other Asian foods. With a mix of contemporary and historical Asian traditions and Western influences added with Polynesian flare, Filipino food is bounteous, flavorful, indulgent, and festive, typically going up to five meals a day. Traditionally it is served in such a way that it is a feast not only to the body, but the eyes as well. Filipino food is alluring in its aromas and pleasing to the tongue.
