Hosting a Pinoy fiesta lunch or dinner to welcome a balikbayan or a foreign friend is a great way to remind them of our culture and give them a taste of what they have been missing. You don’t have to invite the whole town or barangay like in a real fiesta though. It can be a simple and cozy meal with family members or a few close friends.

Fiesta fares in the Philippines are as diverse as its various regions, you can plan your menu according to your local cuisine, family favorites or specialty, and your balikbayan’s favorite. Recommended fiesta dishes include, roasted pig or lechon, pancit, puto, kutchinta, menudo, adobo, kare-kare, caldereta, embutido, lechon manok, leche flan, buko pandan, and sago’t gulaman.

Pinoy feasts are better enjoyed when it’s eaten off the banana leaf using your hands. However, your guests might feel uncomfortable using that method. As an alternative you can line the plates with banana leaf and serve your dishes in indigenous pots, plates or serving trays.

Of course, the best aspect of a Pinoy fiesta is being able to show the warmth and hospitality of our people. Your Pinoy fiesta meal will be most memorable for the bonding and camaraderie that will be formed while sharing the meal.

These are kids of our caretakers. I love taking pictures of them because they are so adorable and innocent. Nothing to worry about yet … just eat and play is their main concern ;) .

Don’t you just wish we all remain like kids?

    I just read an article where Hatton asks people to remortgage their homes and bet everything they have on him. He claims to be sure of beating Pacman on this match … he seems to be very full of himself.
