Philippine cuisine is very different from the rest of the Asian countries. Philippine cuisine has the mixture of Spanish, Mexican, and Italian cuisine with an Asian taste that's why it's very unique.

The food of the rest of the Asian countries mostly are spicy and are always using curry. But in the Philippines, it's not curry... it's tomato sauce!

Most of their food have that sweetness and sourness combined... And how about desserts? Their desserts are what desserts should be really are! Most of other Asian countries' desserts are lacking sweetness and quality. But the Philippines' desserts are really outstanding!

Reference: I'm a European who'd been to Asian countries. Philippines is the BEST

Filipino food is, in my opinion, the best in Southeast Asia. There are different food variations and I would recommend everyone to try them because they are phenomenal and really outstanding. Filipino food is the ideal food for everybody with different cultures.

1 word, lechon

Just accept it, Indonesia has the best cuisine in the planet and don't forget where is the spice Island located, if you wont admit it now probably later is fine too, so yeah, I vote for Indonesia because l'm telling the truth. If you only been to one place in Indonesia don't you ever claim you know it, it's all for the sake of truth.

In Indonesia all the food can found here. a wide variety of regional dishes from the various islands. Indonesia is the richest country of all its natural beauty

I'm Filipino and I can honestly say Indonesian and Thai cuisines are superior. This list is absurd.

Indonesia has so many cuisine diversity, from Sumatra, Java, Sunda, etc. The foods are very tasty. If you like spicy food, try Aceh, Manado cuisine, for sweet taste, try Java cuisine.

I wonder why Singapore has better rank than any other country for the food. I admit that Singapore is the most modern and sophisticated country in SEA, but the food for me is the worst. The Chinese food in Singapore is very tasteless...

4 Vietnam Vietnam Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia.

Vietnam is by far that has the best Southeast Asian cuisine. I noticed that Philippines was in first place so I don't know what my opinion on Flippino foods. But as a Vietnamese myself I have tried a lot of other types of Asian foods such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Cambodian etc. And I believe that it depends on a persons taste to see what kinds of foods they like. I am Vietnamese so I've eaten a lot of Vietnamese foods that ranges from sweet to fresh, salty to bland, and many more. So it's moreover your opinion on what country's food you like. For me Vietnamese and Thai cuisine I like best.

Vietnamese cuisines are the best. Their dishes are good combinations at mixing ingredient flavors, not too sour or too spicy like other Asian countries.

SO DELICIOUS!

Fresh and healthy are common qualities of Vietnamese cuisine

5 Thailand Thailand Thailand, officially the Kingdom of Thailand, formerly known as Siam, is a country at the centre of the Indochinese peninsula in Mainland Southeast Asia.

Thailand's food is a blend of spicy, sour, savory all in one! I'm surprised this country isn't ranked higher

I am Asian, but not a thai. quite surprised that Thai is not the first.

There are very few malay or pinoy restaurant in the area where I live, probably around one or two. however, if you compare how busy any of those two restaurant to Thai restaurant which are basically almost everywhere in my area.. wow. even two malay/pinoy restaurant's customers number probably can't top one thai's number.

I love the mango and sticky rice! Especially the one I munched at the floating village!

Healthy and cheap. Everybody knows.
