I think this thread needs to close down. Thai food wins. No need to keep insulting Philippineos food and make it look like a loser. Makes me want to change my vote for pity.
Insulting is against rules on the forum, if you feel insulted by improper use of language or rudeness then you should report the thread!
Filipino food is underrated. Mainly, there hasn't been the effort to make it to appeal specifically to non-Filipinos, especially westerners. Even at Filipino restaurants in the West, they're usually cafeteria style presented in a fashion that turns off westerners, like trays of chicken feet and pig feet. So its image is unappealing peasant food. But Filipino food is delicious from a good home cook or good Filipino restaurant. In the United States, Fil-Am chefs not catering to the immigrant Filipino only market have opened restaurants that have made Filipino cuisine a hot new trend in American restaurants.
In my town I recently went to a new Filipino place I just found out about. So good. The post before mine mentioned sisig. I wasn't big on sisig before, but the sisig at this place I went to was great. And spicy.
I think where we'll see people push the envelope and innovate with filipino cuisine (and other types of cuisine as well) is in the food truck space. Food trucks have to compete with other food trucks and traditional restaurants so they have to try new things and look for ways to set their food apart. It may not be reality but the perception of food trucks to me anyway is that they are ran by younger trendier people who take more chances and risks. A filipino food truck down in Charleston, SC that I really want to try (when the pandemic ends, I guess) has traditional offerings like siopao and lumpia but also has items like an adobo pulled pork sandwich on a Hawaiian roll with a papaya slaw, as well as a pork taco on a purple handmade ube tortilla with a pineapple salsa and mango habanero sauce. I think that food trucks are where we'll see filipino evolve in the west and find new trends being made.

You don't have things like Sans Rival, Leche Flan, Biscocho and etc.
BTW Taiwanese Boba Tea stole their use of Sago Pearls from us, we had been using Sago before them, in the dessert called Taho from the 16th Century, whereas Taiwanese Boba Tea is invented in the 1980s.
Tapioca balls in Boba Tea even admit that they are a derivative and cheaper alternative to Southeast Asian balls.
Tapioca balls are translucent spheres produced from tapioca, a starch extracted from the cassava root.[1] They originated as a "cheaper alternative to pearl sago in Southeast Asian cuisine."
We were the first to pioneer Ice cream and Ice based desserts here in Southeast Asia, you were just copycats to us.
Eh, if the important thing is where parts of a dish was inspired from and having something derived from elsewhere is an issue, then I don't understand why you would put an emphasis on baked products derived from Europe like Sans Rival, Leche Flan, Biscocho and etc.
The filipino takes on these have their idiosyncrasies. A lot of dishes in thai cooking, and actually much of southeast Asian cuisines have at least some Chinese influence.
Anyhow, the array of filipino desserts when you get good ones can be great. I think another strong suit are its silogs which are hearty, tasty simple breakfast dishes that really hit the spot for me.
Are you also Indonesian? You definitely don't write like someone from Denmark.
No I am not Indonesian ; ) But been there a couple times! Been also to The Philippines 3 times! I could write in Danish if you’d like? But how would you know what a danish person sounds like? Been here?

Indonesia have many breakfast food, every region is different. And yes vegetable is a must!
Tempeh and tofu more cheap and healthy than those marinated beef!
