Food is a sort of cultural heritage that can be considered both tangible and intangible, since food preparation processes can also be recognized as cultural heritage. To present the difference between these two, Munjeri (2014) defined tangible cultural heritage as any material remnants, such as archaeological sites, historical monuments, and artifacts that are important to a community, a nation, or/and humanity. On the other hand, intangible cultural heritage includes all immaterial expressions of culture, reflecting the breadth of humanity's living legacy as well as the most essential carrier of cultural variation (Lenzerini, 2011). Here in the Philippines, there are several delicacies and culinary traditions that are categorized as cultural heritage since they have historical and cultural significance, including adobo, sinigang, sisig, halo-halo, pancit, kare-kare etc. which were somewhat adapted from colonizers.
