i posted two personal ulam studies a few days ago and decided to keep going.

i've been seeing people or tweets saying filipino food is all oil and barely any vegetables, and honestly, that feels like such a limited view of our cuisine. most of the filipino food that reaches western media is "fiesta food" or "party food" but everyday filipino cooking is a different story.

we have dishes like pinakbet, laing, lagat, and countless regional recipes where vegetables and seafood are staples. every region in the philippines has its own culinary traditions, and they're far more diverse than the usual lumpia, jollibee, and lechon stereotype.

so here's my excuse to draw more filipino food and hopefully shine a light on the dishes that deserve more love. 🇵🇭🍚

@imjeldescorkim 'bitter melon' and 'bitter gourd' are both english names for ampalaya :)) i think 'bitter melon' is just more commonly used in some places, while 'bitter gourd' is more common in others.

i never really came out to my mom. back in high school, i'd bring my girlfriend home and we'd play the "just besties" game. then one quiet sunday after church, my mom looked at me and asked, "jowa mo si ano, no?"

i asked, "would you treat me differently if i said yes?" she then said, "of course not. whether you're bi, lesbian, or if your brother turns out gay, i'd love you just the same. don't ever let what other people say make you doubt that."

i think about that conversation a LOT. for every queer kid who grew up afraid of being loved differently, i wish everyone got to hear those words 🫂

Never stop championing for dark skin representation in Filipino media until every child gets to grow up in a world where they are loved and accepted for who they are.

Speaking of developing Filipino ice cream recipes, Sebastians followed up their infamous Champorado at Dilis ice cream with Manggang Hilaw at Bagoong.
