According to an August SF Chronicle article Filipino food "might just be the next Asian cuisine to hit prime time..." But for us three bebots, Filipino food was, is, and always will be an integral part of who we are and how we identify with other Filipinos. Got adobo? Of course! Bring on the lechon! Halo-halo with a heaping of ube? Yes, please.
In this highly anticipated blog, we'll each discuss what Filipino food means to us. As you noticed with our No Worries restaurant review, two of us are vegetarians. This next blog post will address the conflict and compromise of incorporating traditional cuisine into a vegetarian diet, touch on the cultural evolution of "traditional Filipino cuisine," and reminisce about our memories of popular Filipino staples including ube. Join us in discussion as we dig into this culinary delight!
