Filipino food has definitely been gaining a lot more traction lately because there's actually people and organizations who want to showcase their food and culture through popups and events.
Woodside - Sometimes on weekends, there will be popups on the side walk along Roosevelt and 69th. Some vendors include ube bun burgers (Guinita), skewers (Boy Isaw), turon, etc.
There's actually a Phillipines Fest that's growing out. This year they had Adobo Fest, Lumpia Fest, Ube Fest, Calamansi Fest. Very easy way to get introduced to a lot of filipino foods and vendors.
And then there's Barkada Market who did a Christmas market and a summer market. The Christmas one included Kora Doughnuts in the mix so a ton of people got a nice food shock because I saw plenty of people come in only for Kora but ended up really enjoying lechon or batchoy.
I wish other cultures would do something similar to this because it's such a cool way to showcase your culture and build local relationships.
