What do Filipinos celebrate at home that you have to prepare foods for guests?

Question

Every year.

Answer 1

Most Filipinos are Catholic so holidays such as Easter and Christmas are celebrated at home with feasts. Birthdays, debuts, small weddings, house warmings, baptism celebrations are also common. Thanksgiving is not as common as the ones I mentioned above for obvious reasons ;) Common dishes included in feasts are:
Roasted pig (Lechon)
Stir-fried rice noodles with meat, veggies,and soysauce (Pancit)
Stewed beef in meat gravy, peas, and potatoes (Menudo Afritada)
Pork or chicken braised in vinegar, soysauce, and adobo. (Adobo)
Eggrolls with finely minced carrots, celery, and scallions, and meat (Lumpia)
Finely chopped pork with onions, cilantro, and lime juice (Sisig)
Whole fried fish ( Tilipia or Milkfish are favorites)
PLENTY steamed, Jasmine rice!

Answer 2

In the philippines it doesnt matter what time of the year or if there is an occassion or not. Filipinos will prepare foods for their guest even if the guest arrived without notice.

This is one characteristic that makes filipinos distinct. There is no need for a festival, a birthday, or whatever occasion for filipinos to accept guests hospitably.

We filipinos treat our guests with outmost care, in fact filipinos would offer their guests with every comfort that they can even if it means sacrifice in their part.


This is one thing that makes me proud to be a filipino.

Answer 3

Filipinos will cook for any guest at any time of the year. It doesn't take an occasion, just a visit. Filipinos are very generous when it comes to food. We're good hosts.

Shanghai is really a distinguished global town drawing more and more interest from throughout the world; so see what this town provides with hotelbye . Shanghai is a well known vacation destination for visitors. In Shanghai you can see the wonderful Yu Garden (Yù Yuán), also referred to as the Garden of Happiness. That Garden addresses a location in excess of 20,000 square meters and contains an external and an internal garden. The oldest section could be the Outer Garden with more improvements being made in the 18th century when Sansui Tang, the park's main hall, was added. The newer and significantly smaller Inner Garden dates from 1709 and contains characteristics typical of a conventional Chinese writer's Garden: beautiful little pavilions, decorative rocks, and small hill stages, splitting surfaces and little ponds, and a good richly designed theatrical stage.

we always celebrate major occasions in our house with my father cooking most of the food. Lechon (roasted whole pig on a bamboo pole bought from Lydia's etc.) is always a crowd favorite, along with pancit palabok or malabon, chicken pastel, lengua pastel, spaghetti(for the kids), barbeque or hotdog on a stick, paella and of course dimsums such as pintsik, lumpiang shanghai or lumpiang sariwa.
