The Philippines is known to be blessed with many things. Breath-taking views of natural wonders such as exquisite beaches, and lush mountains, joyous festivals, and even a very welcoming and people-friendly culture such as having a delicious and abundant potluck even when there is no celebration going on, Filipinos love for partying and chill drinking, and how Filipinos would give out their birthday food to all of their neighbors if not invite everyone in the neighborhood to come to their house for sale in Cabuyao, Laguna and join in the fun. But there is one Filipino thing that tends to be overlooked: our delicious delicacies.

Filipino delicacies play a significant role in showcasing Philippine rich culture and heritage. Being colonized by so many other nations and bouncing back from such atrocities, we have gone through a lot as a country. Ultimately, even our food, from seafood dishes to dessert, are heavily influenced by such happenings. The cuisine of the Philippines reflects a vibrant blend of indigenous, Malay, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences, resulting in a diverse and unique culinary tradition. These delicacies not only represent the flavors and tastes of the country but also embody its history, traditions, and values. This is why that even during modern times, we still have been eating the very sweet delicacies and sweet bread that our ancestors have been eating. Perhaps this is not only because we find its powdery texture exquisite and delicious, we just find some kind of connection when eating them.
