"Layers of purple yam jam, sweetened banana, sweetened sweet potato, sweetened jackfruit, sweetened beans, coconut gel, jelly, crème caramel, shaved ice, evaporated milk, toasted green rice flakes, and a scoop of ice cream on top.

Filipinos enjoy our food in even the most modest of settings, especially when shared with others. We take it as a compliment when a guest’s plate ends up empty; even more so when they go for a second helping (and a third, for takeaway). As a Filipino based overseas, my country’s food provides comfort and assurance in times of homesickness. I relish visits to Manila to share the tastes of home with family and friends but find myself troubled by the economic and environmental precarity of so many of my fellow Filipinos.” - Maharlina Gorospe-Lockie
