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 +

also another reason i picked lagat for this ulam study is because my partner's mom makes it all the time for me, and i've grown ridiculously attached to it!!! i'd eat this dish straight from the bowl without rice and feel absolutely no shame about it 🤤🤤🤤

today's ulam study: ginataang sitaw at kalabasa with alimasag (crab and squash stew in coconut milk) 🥥 #artph #filipinofood

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

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 & barely any vegetables +

today's ulam study: lagat (sauteed bitter melon) 🥗

and 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 +

love boldly. love honestly. love whoever your heart calls home!!! because love is love 🏳️‍🌈💖

this a small reminder for anyone who needs it today ⊹ ࣪ ˖ you have always been deserving of love, not for who you could be, but for who you already are! may you never feel the need to shrink yourself, hide yourself, or explain yourself to earn what should be given freely 💫
