Food is the best ambassador for any country, and the easiest way to relate to and understand a culture. But the restaurant industry is a public relations game on a global level too, not to mention one that requires significant financial investment.
The most legitimate reason why we should care so much about what the world thinks about Filipino food is not the hope that we will someday make it (whatever that even means). It’s because this global perception of our cuisine has a direct effect on our nation’s economic success, especially in terms of tourism. Food is the best ambassador for any country, and the easiest way to relate to and understand a culture. But the restaurant industry is a public relations game on a global level too, not to mention one that requires significant financial investment.
In 2002, Thailand launched its Global Thai program to increase the number of Thai restaurants worldwide, effectively doubling its numbers. Korean, Malaysian, and Taiwanese governments have all sunk serious cash into similar programs, with varying levels of success. Singapore has gotten wildly creative with its efforts. They came up with Singapore Takeout, a customized shipping container that transforms into a pop-up kitchen. They took this on a whirlwind tour around the world, with a battalion of the island nation’s most distinguished chefs cooking and conducting demonstrations everywhere from Paris to Sydney. Even Singapore’s events like the recent World Street Food Congress (the last one was held in Bonifacio Global City, by the way) are aimed at driving tourism to the country itself.
So maybe it’s not our food, but the way the game is played. As with most things in this world, it all comes down to marketing in the end. But hey, we’ve got a few aces up our sleeve. After all, we were doing nose-to-tail cooking before it was even considered cool. And if countries like Thailand and Cambodia can make eating insects look somewhat appealing, the same can probably be done for balut.
We’ve become fixated on attaining this level of indefinable success, but maybe we’re destined to be the culinary dark horse of the world. Maybe they’ll never love us back and welcome us with open arms. And that’s okay.
But tourism and economics and money and marketing efforts aside, would it really be so bad if the world never fell head over heels for Filipino cuisine? We’ve become fixated on attaining this level of indefinable success, but maybe we’re destined to be the culinary dark horse of the world. Maybe they’ll never love us back and welcome us with open arms. And that’s okay. Time to quit throwing pity parties and whining about how overlooked we are. Because if we’re as proud of our national cuisine as we say we are, then we should be okay on our own. And if we still need some foreign stamp of approval to validate ourselves, well, then that’s the real problem.
