/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Gotta agree
I keep reading stuff in travel reviews and such about how people find Flip food not to be so good, but they attach a picture of some greasy stew that probably not even the locals would eat.
But why? It’s totally not that bad at all, with plenty of flavors from soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, fresh tomatoes, coconut milk, ginger, turmeric and more. I can understand people going to Thailand, China and Japan for culinary experience but the rest of Asia doesn’t really have a far larger variety in their dishes, and yet they are still usually praised by travelers
It’s starting to get traction though

>put ketchup, eggs, spam, and green rice noodles over some fried rice with a boiled duck fetus
>or go to jollibee for literal sketti
Wow so gourmet and exotic

>>10207135
Jollibee is the McD's of the Philippines.

most chink food is shit

>>10207135
Slumfag cuisine is not counted

>>10207143
McD’s is the McD’s of flipland, kfc is a better comparison
>>10207150
>implying the entire island chain isn’t one massive slum

>>10207117
t. philippine tourism board

>>10207135

Fun fact: spam is actually commonly consumed in almost all asian countries, being considered luxurious in Korea and China

>>10207135
Replace ketchup with siracha or some other sauce and you got yourself a quite generic asian snack

>>10207153
Claiming Jollibee to be part of Flip cuisine is like claiming McDonald’s to be part of Jap cuisine because they have McDonald’s in Japan
It’s ultimately an unbelievable retarded statement

>>implying the entire island chain isn’t one massive slum
You probably mean entire Southeast Asia

>>10207155
Go fuck yourself

>>10207187
>claiming a flip chain as flip cuisine is like claiming amerishit chain as nip cuisine

you fucking retarded?

>>10207101
It’s the street food that is quite lackluster which is what retarded tourists think is the most authentic culinary experience they can get all over Asia.
I wish we had put more emphasis on our street food, even if most street food in Asia is usually gutter trash

>>10207209
Just because it’s a flip chain doesn’t make it worth to bring up when discussing Filipino cuisine
There’s a handful of Japanese fast food restaurants selling burgers. Does that make burgers part of Japanese cuisine?
>protip: no it fucking doesn’t you absolute low IQ scum

>>10207212
Unironically this. You won’t find much that faggy tourists will find edible aside from some barbecue
In southeast Asia, tourists can only swallow things they are familiar with, like thai red curries, spring rolls, noodle soups, and stir fry noodles
They won’t eat things like chicken feet, duck embryo, intestines and blood
And thus they will assume all food is like that and won’t bother visiting those more proper food establishments that use better cooking techniques and superior materials

It’s kinda good

>inb4 flip 'nara

>>10207223
If you don't consider Mosburger a part of the Jap food experience, you're a fool.

>>10207212
It's not like you expect stunning street food out of Japan or Korea. Maybe flip food just sucks

>>10207153
All the KFC’s that close in Hawaii reopen as Jollibee’s (strangely with almost 100% mahu staffing).

>>10207101
Because it's been fucked by industrialization

>>10208477
>It's not like you expect stunning street food out of Japan or Korea
It’s pretty clear you’ve not been to those countries

>>10207101
>Why is Flip food so hated?
>[citation required]
Not sure about hated, but it is certainly an uncommon restaurant cuisine in the USA.
You know OP, that's how most people are introduced to foreign cuisine: by going out to eat.
I have never seen a Filipino restaurant, ever. I lived in the SF Bay Area for 3 years in Cali, and in the midwest besides that.
Why don't Filipinos open restaurants here?

>>10208493
I'm less knowledgeable about Korea, but I've travelled all over the northern half of Japan. Neither country has ever been a street food hub in my experience, especially in comparison to Taiwan or Hong Kong

It surely has gotten an undeserved bad reputation. Especially considering on the other hand how well Vietnamese food has been received despite the selection of food foreigners eat from there is literally limited to only different beef broth noodle soups, spring rolls, some salads and banh mi. I’m not making this shit up

>>10208507
All of those foods are good. What filipino food has the west been exposed to that's good?

>>10207101
Open some restaurants up OP, make us understand what we are missing.

>>10208500
That’s a funny way of saying you have not bothered to check out street food in Tokyo beyond raw scallops

>>10208525
I'm struggling to even imagine what you think street food is, given Japan's general scorn for eating while walking down the street

>>10208511
They should like their take on spring rolls, their kinilaw, grilled pork, sinigang and the huge variety of soy-vinegar based dishes

>>10208514
There are some in the Twin Cities, but they usually incorporate other SE Asian methods and ingredients into the restaurants. There's a Philippine/Latino fusion place as well.

>>10208511
Lumpia.

Balut is seriously underrated. It's chicken soup in it's own cup.

>>10208565
Duck, sorry. Though chicken isn't uncommon.

Drop some good quality rice vinegar or fermented chili bean sauce in the end for some heaven.

>>10208529
Japanese street food is anything you'd get at a stand during a matsuri, where there is absolutely no problem eating it while out

>>10208576
I think that feeds into my point, then. It's hardly a thriving street food scene if you can only get it during holidays. Even the things Japan had that were genuinely street food, like roadside ramen stalls, are dying out, because the japs just generally prefer to eat indoors.

I had a flip gf from the islands. She never made flip food.

>>10207101
Filipino here. Our food is fucking disgusting.

>>10208494
>have never seen a Filipino restaurant, ever. I lived in the SF Bay Area for 3 years in Cali
>You know OP, that's how most people are introduced to foreign cuisine: by going out to eat.
>outing himself as not going out to eat
I'm in Oakland near Merritt and there's at least four within 3 miles of me.

I'm not even a Flip, but sisig is delicious

>>10208494
Did you just never go out? There's flip food all over the place in NorCal. I live north of Sacramento, and one of the Sac tv stations has a Lumpia competition every year around the holidays. There's tons of flip food here, in the Bay area and in South Sac. And scattered around nearly every community.

Everyone loves the barbecue though lmao
Last time I went to a carnival, there was a flip stall open selling barbecue, and they didn't see a break time with all the people lining up
T. Flip
I hate flip food myself though

for a member of the "most powerful race" you're not very intelligent. Flip food is garbage just like the people.

LA fag reporting. I've lived close enough to two Flip enclaves to know that the food smells bad from a mile away and even worse up close. Been to several flip parties to know the homemade is only slightly better than the store bought. Chicken adobo pales in comparison to even the worst Mexican adobada. Panset noodles are always over or undercooked. Lumpiafilling is almost always greasy mystery meat tier. Friend convinced me once to order online from a renowned Flip food truck. I said I'll give it one shot. He puts the order in and it cancels after a minute. Tries again with the same result. They closed at 1230 on a Saturday. Really? Took it as a sign to never stoop that low. Their spaghetti is an atrocity that I will not even attempt to speak on.

TL;DR
Filipino cuisine is taking something good with food and seeing how far you can fuck it up in the name of poverty

don't like filipino food as a half-flip, but don't know if it's due to how it tastes or if it is an externalization of my self-hatred

>>10208565

>lumpia

You mean eggroll? We already have that. You can keep it if you just want to change the name, thanks.

>balut

This is exactly what I expected from you """people"""

>>10207161
>spam is actually commonly consumed in almost all asian countries
I've seen it on the store shelves exactly once in Taiwan, and never at a restaurant.

>>10208591

>street food dying out in Japan
>only available during the holidays
>Japanese prefer to eat indoors

what in the fuck

I enjoyed the food when I was over there. I'd eat grilled cuttlefish for lunch and sinigang soup with grilled fish for dinner. Since it was next to the ocean, the seafood was consistently fresh.

flip here
flip breakfast is bomb, garlic rice, egg and meat, a patrician start to a day

>>10210068
I wouldn't even really call the matsuri stuff street food. Unless fried butter on a stick is street food. It's fair food, stuff you see a few times a year for big events.

>>10210063
Lumpia is not eggroll you tardcake. That's like calling single-crust phyllo.

>>10210079
this

My father was a renowned Filipino caterer in the northeast, and I picked up his cooking

The more seafood centric dishes are way better, and I think Filipino Paella is way better than Spanish only because of the proximity to a lot more seafood. The dishes that use a lot of fresh fish and vegetables are so, so fucking dank

That said, most Filipino(-American) chefs don't cook the cuisine (Bouchon, Oinkster, and Eggslut in LA; the head chef of the White House)

>>10208591
I'd say its not dying out, just that people aren't silly enough to want to eat standing up outside when the weather is shitty. During the summer, theres no shortage of takoyaki trucks or yakitori stands even outside the millions of matsuri that happen during the summer. Your comment is like saying that ice cream is dying out because most ice cream places that aren't Baskin Robbins close for 3-6 months of the year.

>>10209125
but why

>>10210099

I know filipinos are desperate for the approval of Americans but let me take this opportunity to just prove how 4th world you are.

Here's the ingredient list of the highest rated lumpia recipe on Allrecipes:
>ground pork
>garlic
>onion
>carrots
>green gabbage

And here's the ingredient list of the highest rated eggroll recipe on Allrecipes:
>ground pork
>ginger
>garlic
>cabbage
>carrots

So you're right, lumpia isn't the same as eggrolls. It's shittier. You learn something new everyday, even from scum!

>>10210139
>I need more extra thick pastry to soak up more fat.
>I get my shit from the internet authorities on Allrecipes top-easy.
Your strange hatred for the better rolls is suspicious.

>Implying anyone in Asia is pure-blood anymore.

some may be good. but they serve Balut. so they can go to hell.

>>10208766
but WHY? why cant you just eat island type foods, lots of fish and tropical plants, and roast pig? why balut, why cheap ass copies of other dishes, why stupid noodle casseroles, why all so horrible, why?

i wonder what happened to that guy who shitposted about flip food everyday

Because like everything else filipino the people constantly brags about how great it is despite it being substandard at the best

>>10209204
It’s a fact that majority of flips, especially those living overseas fucking suck at cooking. That means they will even suck at making western food

>>10210757
And by that it doesn’t mean that the food itself is bad.

He lives in a slum. They only serve dried fish, soy sauce, rice and white bread there

>>10210064
No idea about Taiwan but they don’t serve spam in any prominent asian restaurant aside from small street side establishments, with the exception of Korea. Korea consumes the most spam only second to the US

>>10210139
How to prove yourself to be an absolute brainlet
You do know lumpia predates spring rolls by maybe centuries and that lumpiang shanghai is not the only variant? There’s also lumpiang sariwa, lumpinang gulay, turon etc.
Besides, a common ingredient in lumpia is wansoy which is almost like parsley

It’s probably from consuming so much grease and processed foods that you amerimutts suffers from Dunning Kruger effect all the time

by the way, she's not mixed, atleast her father and mother weren't Caucasian or east asian.

>>10211386
You replied to my first post in this thread. I’m not the other guy. Also, just because neither of her parents were white or East Indian doesn’t mean either of her parents were pure Filipino. If two mixed people make a kid, their kid is mixed. She definitely has white blood in her, and probably some East Indian as well. But I wouldn’t expect you to understand this, seeing as how you think a 92 iq is smart.

>>10207101
we don't have any fillipino restaurants here, hardly any flip immigrants, hence there's hardly any awareness of fillipino food. I don't live in the US though

you're retarded vietnamese cuisine has huge influence from the fucking french who colonized vietnam in the 19th century. vietnamese is one of the worlds great cuisines. while filipino's are only a step above fucking dirt eaters due to their spic and largely american colonial influence

My gf is filipina but one of the rare kinds that are actually intelligent and has common sense. She even talks about other Filipinos like if they are from a different race.
She loves Filipino food BUT only if it's cooked in a proper way with patience and passion. Which she told me doesn't happen often enough, especially among those who live oversea, as a large part of Filipinos are pretty retarded at cooking, taking shortcuts whenever they have the opportunity.
As she's also very observant, when she was in Thailand, she noticed that most foreigners that try out their food almost exclusively order the red curry dishes, tom kha gai, tom yum, satay and pad thai. They also seem to get the first impression from street food.
Whereas their cuisine is a little bit more unknown and just like Thailand, alot of people get first impression from the street food. Which she agrees is quite subpar compared to the rest of the region

>>10216451
> first world country
> euthanising hobos

Sure buddy, totally happening. And to think Flips treat their lowest class so well, death squadrons hunting for drug users and all...

Alot of Filipinos are digusting degenerates that are fucking eat Sallted eggs and tomato with Rice and call it breakfast; and consider instant noodles on Rice As meal.

There are some tho that respect the integrassiom

If you want good flip food there are only a few places here in manila you can Go to. I suggest manam, Mesa, anything by that LJC group and fucking café Juanita.

Also you guys need to get into karekare — its better than sinigang

LMAO look at this mad vietshit
Yah I guess stirfried rat and some cucumber salad is among the world’s greatest.
Only Chinese, Japanese, Thai and maybe Malay/Indonesian food are extraordinary cuisines in Asia. Vietnamese is one of the most overrated in the world only second to Mexican food

Mention just one mainstream Vietnamese dish commonly consumed by foreigners that is not a noodle soup, springroll, some cucumber salad or banh mi

>>10216527
Kare Kare is an example of how certain flips are retarded in the kitchen
How it’s supposed to be done:
>boil the oxtail for 3-4 hours, preferably with onion, garlic and maybe even lemon grass
>crush peanuts in a mortar with some oil so it becomes a paste. You can add spices if you want
>put the paste in the broth, spoon by spoon, mixing it out. It should be kinda firm
>in a pan, wok eggplant, string beans and maybe even banana flower
>wash the pak choy
>add the stew in a bowl, garnish with the veggies and probably cilantro
>served along rice and a small plate of shrimp paste

How flips do it
>load a pan with water
>put oxtails with nothing else
>boil for 10 min
>throw in some cheap peanutbutter
>mix in the shrimp paste because you’re too careless to eat it alongside
>toss in stringbeans and pak choy in the stew

>>10216472
He’s not wrong at all. All the Vietnamese restaurants in our capital serves nothing but various varieties of Pho where the only main difference is the meat topping , springrolls, some salads, banhmi, fried chicken, and chinese stir fry dishes like chow mein

Could a non-flip tell me if flip food is actually better than more popular asian cuisines? I would like an unbiased opinion. If it's not better, I don't see any reason to try it.

Why are the phillippines such a backwards Catholic shithole? You can't get divorced, what the fuck is that?
Foreigners can't own businesses, what the fuck is that?
President of the country has death squads killing non-violent criminals, what the fuck is that?

What an absolute reddit-tier statement

>>10217467
I don’t find any Asian food particularly superior or better tasting than the other. All of them have their own sort of palette which differs from the other and can all taste great
Filipino food happens to have garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, tomato, onion, calamansi, bay leaves and coconut as their common ingredient. There’s a huge variety of dishes from simple adobo, to noodle soups, tomato stews like kaldereta, sizzling dishes like sisig, grilled pork like lechon, sour ones like kinilaw and sinigang, chinese-influenced ones like pata tim, spanish influenced ones like their version of paella, malay influenced ones like randang(rendang) and satti. In my opinion, it’s a worthy contender in Asia

>>10217543
>>10217475

Of course, I love it, aslong as it’s cooked properly. What matters about a cuisine is not necessarily the cuisine itself but rather who cooks it.
And to be fair, I think we got the short end of the stick when it comes to that in Asia

That's what tpp was all about shifting our imports away from China and spread throughout the SE Asian nations. Also note that our exports in billions of dollars to China doubled and the goods they were buying for us couldn't be shifted to other nations the way tpp was going to shift low end manufacturing away from China.

>Tom yum is delicious
>sinigang which is similar is not
>Tom kha gai, on the other hand, is a disgusting abomination and should be made illegal

Ah it’s not the same dude. Oh well you’re still a self hating little shit

>>10220548
I don't hate myself, I just don't like sour soup, seafood, and basically the bulk of local cuisine.

I love burgers and steaks though.

Wife is filipina
This is my observation when I was there:
she, her father and uncle are great at cooking. Whatever they made was delicious
I was there during Christmas time and on 31st we were going to sell fireworks. Her brother’s gf’s mother came to cook for us while we were out
This on the other hand had some dishes that looked pretty appalling and tasted rather mediocre. But I had eaten such dishes before that either her, her father or uncle made which tasted and looked much better
I do think could be like that because it was only her cooking and preparing for a rather large banquet

So in my opinion, it’s probably more about certain Filipinos and not the food itself

>Lumpia.
that's indonesian food flippy

>>10207101
As a flipfag, I think sisig is heavily underrated to people who don't know flip food and stick to the safe picks like lumpia, pansit or adobo.

Honestly though our food is really not photogenic.

>I have never seen a Filipino restaurant, ever. I lived in the SF Bay Area for 3 years in Cali
When did you live there? Daly City is right next door and is literally full of flips.

Anyone in Los angeles been to Big Boy? I’m curious but it’s surrounded by better restaurants so I won’t go unless I know it’s good.

It's hit or miss, and usually miss. It's mostly greasy and salty, which says a lot when their leading causes of death is heart disease and diabetes despite being such a poor country.

Probably this, but it’s also that whenever a flip has made something that looks like absolute shit, they take their chink smartphone, puts the food in a dark room and takes picture of it with flash and posts on on FB bragging
Needs better presentation

>>10220601
As I said, they have an unbelievable amount of morons who are clueless in the kitchen >>10216790
Their grannies are rolling in the grave

They recently opened a restaurant near me and I really like sisig, tociolg and ukoy. Their halohalo dessert is also pretty delicious. I haven’t tried the other meals yet

This is where people should eat if they want well made flip food. It’s an utter shame this can’t be the standard

Do they have tapsilog too? You should try that. Although anything ending with -silog is not really anything other than a snack

>>10220805
silog is short for sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (fried egg)

>>10207536
>They won’t eat things like chicken feet, duck embryo, intestines and blood

i wonder why

underrated

It’s all garbage. There’s no good native food. Everything that is decent is from somewhere else.

>>10218811

well, I for one, bow down to our new Chinese Overlords

>>10218945

The trade imbalance is just the tip of the iceberg.

You dumbfuck 'mericans are all too happy to give up your technology and your IP for the privilege to sell in China.

And as long as we can keep undercutting you in pricing, we will soon own your service market just like we owned your manufacturing.

It's too late to stop now. There is just too much momentum for China to surpass the US in the next few years.

>>10218753

lol God bless Obama. We wish he could have stayed as the US president another 8 years.

Fuck that racist FRUMP. Bring back our pet nigger.

>>10221971
This is objectively wrong. Mention one "native" dish that is garbage. Rules: no "I ate it at a local flip family who served it in a greasy stew with ketchup and imitation cheese"

>>10207135
Flip spaghetti actually started out as a variant of pancit miki with sweet tomatosauce. Even today, miki noodles are commonly used. They just call it spaghetti because it look like pasta margarita, just like adobo is called adobo because it looked like the adobo of the Spaniards despite having a completely different origin

I’m genuinely curious, what are good native foods?
