And of course there are famous Filipino
desserts. Here are just a few:
Halo-halo (known as the Queen of Desserts): an exotic
mix featuring fruit, vegetables, coconut, all colourfully
stacked under shaved ice and topped with a dob of ice
cream.
Bibingka: a popular dessert of pudding made of ground
rice, sugar and coconut milk.
Cassava Cake: made from ground cassava, a starchy root
rather like sweet potato.
Worldwide Cuisine
The Philippines is also a showcase of worldwide cuisine. You
don't have to go far to find food from other Asian countries
plus the best from Europe, America, and even Australia.
And the Philippines hasn't missed out on the fast-food chains
either. Here you will find McDonald's and KFC, plus the
Philippine's own fast-food chain, Jollibee. Jollibee is an
American-style fast-food chain, a pseudo combination of
McDonald's and KFC, but leans towards traditional Filipino
tastes.
And there is Max's Restaurant - "The House that Fried
Chicken Built" - which has been operating since 1945, even
longer than KFC's franchise.
