Most Filipino dishes that are served daily especially in the urban areas and those that you see in Pinoy cookbooks are Spanish and Chinese influenced. The Philippines was under Spanish occupation for 300 centuries, and after, came the Chinese traders that is why.
Flipino dishes are mostly flavored with fish paste (bagoong) and fish sauce (patis) and the alamang, fresh salted baby shrimps.
In some parts of the country, coconut cream/milk is very important, and usually the base of their dishes. So is tamarind, it's the main souring ingredient both the fruit, flowers and leaves.
Filipino foods are more on vegetables, flavored with fish paste and served with fried or grilled fish.
