Philippine cuisine has influences from many sources, such as Malay, Spain and America. Some popular dishes are:

  • Adobo. Usually chicken, marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic.
  • Pancit. Thin rice noodles, with diced vegetables, shrimp or chicken.
  • Lumpia. Small, thin fried eggrolls.
  • Lechon. Pork, usually with the skin fried and crunchy.

A popular cold refreshment, known as halo-halo, consists of coconut milk, with evaporated milk, jackfruit chunks, and beans. Halo halo means "Mix" in the Tagalog language.
