Despite the coming of all the popular fast food chain in our country, rice still remains to be the Number 1 staple food in the Philippines. We have three meals in the Philippines: breakfast, lunch and dinner and these meals are not complete without rice on our table. I guess you cannot take away rice from the Filipino table.

Most of the Indians also have rice as their staple food. Though the people from northern part of India would like to be on Wheat flour , they also consume rice! Thanks dear @KaRogerbanahaw!
