That. Looks. Delicious.

There's not much Filipino food and culture where I live but I'll do my best at trying it, now.

What OP posted is basically Hong Kong dimsum menu.

Kim Pung is like Lo Mai Gai (glutinous rice chicken).

So you can just go to any Chinese restaurant that serve dimsum and order the similar dishes.

If you come across any Filipino restaurant, you should order authentic filipino dishes instead of these. There's so many delicious dishes that make you savour for more. lol

Not filipino but I was posted there for a few months for work.

So, I'll share my favourite

Longsilog / Tocino (I had them for breakfast the most while there. lol. That and golden brown waffles from Pancake House)
Sinigang (Western tastebud might need to get used to it)
Adobo (all time favourite!)
Inasal (Make sure you dip the vinegar and calamansi)
Liempo (Love the way they marinate the meat)

There's also snacks like Lumpia, Turon, Lechon....etc
