The evolution of Filipino food can be traced back to the earliest inhabitants, where the food preparation was mostly by boiling, roasting or steaming, the Malays had a heavy influence here and in a way started the gastro wheel turning. Other Asian influences crept in, mainly from the Chinese, Indonesians and Indians, who were major trading partners, they all made a huge impact in the start of the Philippines food evolution. Each ethnicity brought it's own unique influence as did the Spanish. The final major influences were the American and Japanese. Being colonised by both countries in the beginning of the 20th Century, I guess there heavy influence was inevitable. Beef belly.
