To my non-Filipino friends and readers, I will share to you one popular Christmas tradition here in the Philippines. To my Filipino folks, may this remind you of our beautiful festive culture.
By Hannah + December 25th, 2009
It may be the season of gift-giving or Santa Claus but if there’s one thing Filipinos can relate to more than anything, it’s the food.
That’s why during this time of the year, the spotlight is, more than ever, on the kitchen creativity of females who are tasked to concoct sumptuous Noche Buena dishes for the whole family. For most Pinoys, togetherness and merriment during Christmas means bonding over yummy feasts in a roomful of family and friends. Or that was how it used to be until the recent onslaught of typhoons that destroyed homes and took lives of many Filipinos.
