Filipino American Heritage is celebrated throughout the month of October and I thought I would share some of my favorite Filipino dishes, movies, and music artists.
Filipino American culture is a part of my identity that I am proud of and continue embracing through supporting Filipino work. Although I am an American-born Filipino, I do my best to continue to stay in touch with my culture.
Favorite Filipino Dishes!
My top three favorite dishes would have to be Kare Kare, Sinigang, and Bistek. I would like to say that Filipino foods are probably some of the most flavorful dishes I have ever tasted. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have the exposure to these dishes.
The flavors in these three dishes vary from being savory, rich, and sweet n’ sour. A lot of Filipino dishes tend to have the same flavor profiles but maintain their own uniqueness in the process of cooking and ingredients.
My All Time Favorite Filipino Movies!
A few of my favorite movies would have to be “Can’t Help Falling in Love”, “Isa Pa with Feelings”, and “Bride for Rent”.Â
 I love watching these rom-com movies with my family and friends, where we get to laugh and enjoy the sappy plotlines. We normally fantasize about having these picture-perfect dates and meeting our perfect partner while watching of course.
Filipino Music Artists!
I love listening to music and being able to support Filipino American artists!
A couple of artists I recommend listening to are Michael Seyer, Yeek, and Toro y Moi.
Give any of these a try? Let us know what you think! @HerCampusSJSU
