Where are Filipino cuisinesin New York City?

Answer 1

Filipino Cuisine: Turo-turo

your way through NYC and Jersey City



Food from the Philippines is a spicy blend of cuisines that the country has come in contact with through the centuries. Dishes are now a mix of Malay, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and American flavors. For example, the use of coconut milk as a cooking ingredient is of Malay origin. Lumpia or lumpiang shanghai (similar to spring rolls) and pancit (noodles mixed with pork, shrimps and vegetables) are Chinese in origin. And several Filipino traditional dishes still retain their Spanish names such as mechado (beef with pork fat), menudo (diced meat and potatoes stewed in tomato sauce), and pochero (a blend of pork, cabbage, green beans and other vegetables).



However, according to Asian Food expert Charmaine Solomon, "when families get together their favourite food will be those dishes which owe little, if anything, to outside influences. Even if they were originally borrowed they have been 're-composed', adding new flavours and generally acquiring a new personality."



A popular style of Filipino restaurants is called Turo-turo. Turo-turo is derived from the Tagalog verb turo meaning "to point." Turo-turo is a slang expression for fast food restaurants where customers point to the dish they want to order. Trying Turo-turo is a quick and easy way to taste your way through a wonderful variety of dishes. Here are some great Turo-turo restaurants to try in New York City, Woodside and Jersey City.
