FV Foods & Mhel's

Nothing beats Christmas in the Philippines! Known for celebrating the longest  Christmas celebration which starts as soon as the calendar hits “–ber,” filipinos get to enjoy a lot during the yuletide season, from Simbang Gabi to Noche Buena to family reunions and Christmas carols. But aside from all the merriments the holidays bring, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without the FOOD they could delight in during the season. No Filipino Christmas is ever complete without bibingka, puto bumbong ,suman, puto and kutsinta which are traditionally cooked and sold in the streets after every Simbang Gabi. On Christmas Eve, families gather together for the much anticipated Noche Buena, a Filipino tradition for more than hundred years already, and this special midnight feast is never complete without quezo de bola, hamon and other Pinoy dishes. They also get to savor desserts like fruitcake, tikoy, kalamay, maja and other kakanin (rice delicacies) like pitchi-pitchi, sapin sapin, and ube halaya. Certainly, gift giving is always a part of the celebration and one of the best gift ideas is giving out cakes, sweets and pastries to their colleagues, closest friends and loved-ones. Pastillas, yema, sansrival, brazo de Mercedes, ube cake, mocha cake, ensaymada, empanada and mamon are some of the most popular giveaways during the season. For Filipinos, the Christmas spirit is much more alive when they get to share the cheer to everyone through their own little way.
