More and more fast food chains inspired by ethnic cuisine can be found on streets or in shopping centers. But do we really know their origins? We invite you to try the 4 ethnic food trends for 2017:

Philippines

Filipino cuisine fuses Southeast Asian influences with Spanish food. The main ingredients of this cuisine are fresh fruits (mangoes, papayas, guavas, bananas, etc.) and also fish and seafood. Rice can never be missing in Filipino food, whether as a main dish or dessert. Must-try dishes: Kare-kare: oxtail with fish sauce, soy sauce, and peanut sauce.

Vietnam

Vietnamese cuisine is probably one of the most varied in Asia due to its borders with China and Cambodia, and French influence; Vietnamese gastronomy includes both spicy flavors, rice, and fish sauce. Must-try dishes: Pho Bo: rice noodle soup with beef.

20170131_4@ phu quoc island / breakfast | 7:30am, pho bo; phu quoc style beef noodle. While waiting for hotel pickup, breakfast. Is Pho Quoc's pho characterized by this jagged leaf? Actually, the pickup service was there. [ Addendum ] 0206 It was crazy to arrive this early in the morning, of course, the hotel breakfast was skipped and I was anxious with the unfamiliar driver's driving… astonished by the airport's congestion and somehow managed to board through all the check-in/security checks… the seat was business but felt like I finished a day's worth of things before breakfast. #dailylife #breakfast #phobo #phởbò #vietnamesefood #beefnoodle #phuquocisland #đảophúquốc #vietnam

India

Although more than a quarter of the Hindu population is vegetarian, the food of this country is very diverse. Most of its dishes contain grains (mainly rice or wheat), vegetables, and sometimes chicken, lamb, goat, or buffalo meat, but never beef. Yogurt is commonly used to prepare sauces, and dishes are seasoned with pepper, cumin, turmeric, ginger, or chili. Must-try dishes: Uttapam: similar to a pizza, made from lentil and rice flour.

Mix veg uttapam for breakfast today. Happy Monday everyone. #southindian #uttapam #southindianbreakfast #merrytummy #indianbreakfast #breakfasttime

Mexico

Although we are familiar with the gastronomy of our country, when it comes to ethnic food, we refer to dishes that belong to an ethnicity and have over 150 years of history. Thus, fusion cuisines or reinterpretations of typical dishes are not considered ethnic gastronomy. Must-try dishes: Tamales: it is estimated that there are over 5000 varieties throughout the country.

Spicy pork tamales. Yum! 😍 . . . #tamales #pork #food #foodie #foodporn #foodpics #foodphotography #thrillist #infatuation #eeeeeats #eater #foodgasm #feedme #feedfeed #detroit
