Filipino cuisine — 16, Rice and bagoong
Vinegar, garlic and a fiesta table: adobo, sinigang and the Chinese-Spanish-American pantry of the islands. On the table, Filipino cuisine follows “Rice and bagoong” with amount 16. Stars are not cook times. Filipino cuisine is sour more than chili-hot: adobo in vinegar and soy, sinigang in tamarind. Chinese noodles, Spanish fiesta roasts and American sweet-sauces sit on an Austronesian rice-and-bagoong base.

Filipino cuisine sits at spice 52 in this atlas. Adobo and Sinigang show the range better than a single heat number. Adobo plus one regional plate — not only the export icon. A fiesta is lechon and a table that does not run out. A Tuesday is rice, a sour soup and leftover adobo that tastes better on day two.
The home pantry around Adobo and the labour behind Sinigang rarely fit a takeaway box. Restaurant Filipino cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Lutuing Filipino is the local name used in this atlas beside Filipino cuisine.
Filipino cuisine needs 16, “Rice and bagoong,” and 16. Without them the plate is an advertisement. On the table, Filipino cuisine follows “Rice and bagoong” with amount 16. Stars are not cook times. 1616
