In this book, the authors take us into the fascinating and unexplored world of Chinese Filipino food culture. From the kitchens of migrant families to the secret eateries of Binondo, from market stalls to gourmet restaurants, this book is a journey into the cuisine of the Fujian-based traders, merchants, and farmers who made the Philippines their home.

Part recipe book, part photo-essay, part ethnographic study, these pages are a culmination of years of research to capture a world of treasured recipes, food culture, and secret techniques, passed down from generation to generation, and now accessible to all.
