Culture and Society: Traditional Filipino Cuisine!

Let’s dive into this exciting world of Filipino food that goes beyond the traditional meals!

Balut, a fertilized duck egg, is often seen as the ultimate street food challenge. While some students might feel a bit hesitant at first due to its unique appearance, those who try it are often surprised by its rich, savory flavor.

From savory and spicy street food like Balut and Bopis to sweet treats like Sapin-Sapin and Banana-Q, Filipino snacks are a delightful mix of flavors, textures, and experiences that are perfect for students eager to try something new. The best part about Filipino street food is that it encourages a communal dining experience—whether it’s sharing a bowl of fish balls, debating over the best dipping sauce for Kwek-Kwek, or taking that first bite of crispy Isaw, food becomes a way of connecting with friends and enjoying the lively, fun spirit of Filipino cuisine.
