But it also entails beloved street snacks like ukoy (fritters) and empanadas and the array of sweets and treats called meryenda. Dishes reflect the influence and ingredients of the Spaniards and Americans, among others, who came to the islands, but Filipinos turned the food into their own unique and captivating cuisine. Filled with riotously bold and bright photographs, \u003ci\u003eI Am a Filipino\u003c\/i\u003e is like a classic kamayan dinner--one long festive table piled high with food.
