US Filipino food is dense in California and Hawaii; lumpia and adobo are potluck staples. Bicol express and Mindanao dishes can be hot; most home adobo is not. Spice 52 is mid-atlas: sour and garlic lead.

Kinilaw is a raw-fish vinegar cook, cousin to ceviche by accident of acid, not of history. 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.

Kinilaw is a raw-fish vinegar cook, cousin to ceviche by accident of acid, not of history. 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 · Is it always spicy?
Filipino cuisine sits at spice 52 in this atlas. Adobo and Sinigang show the range better than a single heat number. 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.
Filipino cuisine · Are restaurant versions "authentic"?
Restaurant Filipino cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Filipino cuisine did not arrive as a single national plate. Its older structure is visible in Adobo, Adobo and the regional kitchens that still disagree.
