Street Food In the Philippines; A Journey to Filipino Taste

Food is somehow one of the important things needed in someone's life. Definitely because its where we gain energy and strength that will be use throughout the whole tiring day full of activities. And sometimes we cant deny that there are people who eats when they are not in the mood or depressed, maybe because Foods become their stress reliever or somehow their best friend.

Food is part of nation's culture. Going to such diners and eat their main dishes that represents a certain culture, it feels you like you are exactly on that country. From classy diners up to street foods, all of them are showing the culture and identity of a country.
