Do you have a national dish?

I'm from Sarawak. I'm a Bidayuh from Kuching. There are a lot of dishes that resembles Bidayuh custom. One of the most famous dish will be Bamboo Rice. What so unique about this dish is, every kampung and area have different way to cook it. For example my village and my wife village. At my village, bamboo rice are cook with balm only. A red hot balm after the woods have been burn. But at my wife village, it was cook using raw fire from the dry bamboo. The goal is the same but the method is different.

My nation got many traditional dishes so maybe I will tell about one I really like. We call it bigos and basically is cooked sauerkraut with wild mushrooms, sausages and many spices. I really love it especially when my partner cooking it because in my opinion he does this best.

We do not have any official national dish. However, there are several dish here that would somehow identify the filipino flavor, that would be LECHON (roast pork), pinakbet, dinuguan etc.

Wow! Fermented soy bean soup, it sure sound interesting, what sort of meat you mix with the soup, or it is just plain vegees soup for vegetarian??

A national dish? That's different from a national food, which down here would be vegemite! One that comes to mind is the pavlova invented here in the 1970's, but this is more of a dessert. Okay - what you want is some good bush tucker, right? You can't go past a loaf of the old damper washed down with a cup of billy tea. Then there's the iconic barbecue where you can get away with throwing just about anything on it. Throw in some ANZAC biscuits for after - which may or may not have been invented in New Zealand, but that doesn't matter too much because they're part of the name. Being quite multicultural these days, we couldn't really say what the most popular dish is. It depends whereabouts you are exactly, I s'pose. That fermented soy bean soup sounds good. It's vegetarian, right?

Fermented soy bean soup? How does it taste ? Is it salty and spicy. I think it's a delicious one! I like sipping soups! Well, here in the Philippines, i think the national dish is adobo. It a dish made of pork meat, marinated and then cooked in soy sauce, vinegar and peppercorns. Some would mix a liver pate in it , if the dish is nearly cooked. It's a delicious dish that the Filipinos really love to eat!
