Filipino food isn't great.
I've never had any problems with Filipino food. The **fish caught fresh right off the beach** was seriously the best I've ever had, including at high-end restaurants in North America and Europe. Healthy, fresh food -> sinigang, chicken tinola, pinakbet, etc. Local food -> sisig, lechon, adobo, kare-kare, etc. are all good. Common fast food -> Mang Inasal, Jollibee, McDonald's, and Chowking are decent. There are plenty of more upscale restaurants in big cities. There's everything from very healthy food to less healthy fast food.
Where do you all eat? This is kind of sad. Doesn't your girlfriend/wife cook Filipino food at home?
Honestly, Filipino cooking is basically soy sauce, shrimp paste, vinegar, and maybe coconut milk. My bigger complaint is that when we eat out for dinner, the food has never come out all at once. 8 people get their food while the other 2 sit there for 30 minutes with nothing.
It's really strange, given how fertile the land is and that they have three great culinary traditions: Chinese, Spanish, and yes, American. Somehow they only ended up with the worst parts of all three.
