For me it depends: There are quite a few Filipino dishes I love and cook myself here in Germany, but there are others I don’t like (and in some cases don’t like their German counterparts either).
I find a lot of food from the Tagalog regions rather bland, e.g. Sinigang
But I love a lot of the spicier dishes from Bicol or from the Muslim regions of Mindanao, e.g. Bicol Express or Beef Rendang.
I also like Cebuano Beefsteak, Adobo and Kare Kare (I love the combination of peanuts and coconut milk). And sometimes Filipino style spaghetti.
Unfortunately I’m allergic to fish and seafood, and I’m not particularly fond of poultry.
I don’t like Pata (fried pig knuckle), but I also don’t like their German equivalents Schweinshaxe and Eisbein either. The same goes for Dinoguan and its German equivalent blood sausage.
Humba (barbecued spare ribs) are a bit too fat for me and you can chase me with balut (boiled duck eggs with a duck embryo inside).
I love Filipino desserts, like Leche Flan, Biko (cooked it last week), Halo-Halo, Filipino fruit salad and Bibingka.
