Aye! I'm Mark, back when I was a kid my grandma and grampa always host banquets and reunion. They raise native pigs and chickens which they butcher when we will host a feast. Grampa's specialty is Lechon , its really simple to do. just kill a pig, remove the guts, punch a bamboo from the rear end of the pig through his mouth, and lastly cook it really slow over the charcoal while carefully spinning it to cook it evenly. It takes a couple of hours before the pig gets perfectly cooked but the wait is totally worth it!. While gramps is busy with the pig grandma prepares the lumpia, pancit, sisig, and dinuguan.A few minutes later, one by one, our relatives are coming bringing their own specialties. I remember one of my Aunt always bring Chicharon which is a best seller specially for my uncles and cousins because it goes along with beer. Before we even notice it the table is full of food like Buko pandan, Spaghetti , Adobo , Lechon Manok , Ice cream , Halo Halo, name it and we have it!. I remember chatting with my cousins and uncles while eating, we laugh at each others story like there is no tomorrow. For some weird reason the food magically taste even better while we talk.
Filipino food is a must try, if you haven't tried it you are definitely missing out a big part of your life!. I suggest that you go out there and rush to the nearest filipino food store you can find! the clock is ticking just... just go!
