Why is Philippine cuisine so.... umm... primitive?

[badkuk]

I have no idea where chicken macaroni soup originated. But, I first had it in the PH.

We call it sopas here(sopas = soup in Spanish). Slop it over rice and i'm good to go

[lowslowbenz]

Not sure if crablets is unique to the PH

Taba ng talangka, sauteed and mixed with garlicky fried rice together with crispy fried tilapia (or GG) and a side dish of green mango salad.

And ice cold coke, syempre.

All bets are off ....

I just eat sopas (and most soups) straight from the bowl. The soups are my favorite PH dishes. They look safe (edible) and pleasing to smell. Their aromas just make me hungrier.

Chicken sotanghon

Sopas

Chicken mami

Arroz Caldo

They don't require steamed rice. I normally pair the above with vegetable egg/spring rolls.

If you saw the last season of Master Chef Australia, there's a Filipino guy there who tried applying variety to halo halo, sisig and i think adobo.

Yeah, i think halo halo and sisig should be way more popular internationally than they are now.

Dilis only if it is already prepared with onions and sili, madalas ko itong bilhin sa isang carinderia sa Davao dati. And talking about Davao, the best ang kinilaw nila, it's a mix of fresh tuna and inihaw na liempo in light vinegar

Davaoeños call it "sinuglao/sinuglaw" which is short for "sinugba" (grilled) and kilaw.

papaitan/papait

If it has any hint of excretions, then it was not prepared properly. My grandma used to brush the intestines multiple time during preparation to remove such taste.

sopas north, sopas elsewhere

I grew up in Zamboanga and never had "sopas" with macaroni. We always have sopas with corn (Chicken Corn Soup).

primitive/easy to prepare

Vietnamese stir fried dishes might be the most primitive. Some take just 2 to 3 steps after preparation of course. Most of the fastfood we have take shortcuts. We still have a few authentic or old fashioned restos that prepare Filipinos dishes and serve them as comfort food. Most of them though are not in the metro or not even in posh places.

Speaking of Philippine cuisine, I think the following are native to us:
-Sisig
-Bulcachong
-Curacha
-Laing
-Dinuguan
-Bicol express
-And of course, desserts!
