"Deep fried battered shrimp, grated carrot and sweet potato, spring onion and garlic, and paired with a dipping sauce of vinegar and fish sauce.

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
