My take on that Filipino food issue eme…as a Pinoy ulam enjoyer (na hinahanap hanap ang lasa ng pinoy ulam kapag nangingibang bansa) di ko alam bakit may hater ng sariling atin? Lol, legit ang sarap mag-explore ng iba-ibang local recipes..lalo na ngayon na halos everyday ako nagluluto ng ulam. I love that there’s a lot of options to experiment with. My mom’s a great cook and I’m so lucky I’ve been exposed to so many ulams habang lumalaki….
