Philippines
The Philippines is consist of 7,107 islands, endows plentiful natural resources and great biodiversity. However, the cuisines have evolved over the centuries from their rather simple Austronesia techniques, such as boiling, steaming and roasting local ingredients, seafood and livestock, to adapting a mix of Chinese, Hispanic, American and other Asian cultures, which help create a more diverse range of flavors and tastes.
Rice as the country’s staple, it’s served and consumed in almost every meal, and the most famous sauce in the Philippines is “adobo”, a combination of salty, savory and acidic taste with the hint of garlic and pepper; the word “adobo” comes from the Spanish word meaning “marinated” or “seasoning”, which uses general amounts of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, pepper and herbs, and is used for most chicken, pork, beef, seafood and vegetable dishes. However, people in the Philippines are also known to have a sweet tooth, they enjoy many ice-cold desserts, fresh cut fruits and juices as refreshment in the heat.
ANKO’s food machines are designed to produce many popular dishes in the Philippines, such as lumpia (Filipino spring rolls), turon (banana lumpia), siopao (steamed buns), bakpia (mooncake-like round pastry, usually stuffed with mung bean paste), fish balls and filled breads, many of which have also spread its fame outside of the country.
