Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
Coming from
the Philippines and entering back to California my family will always ask what
I want to eat from there. I would always tell them anything except Filipino
food because I eat it every day at home.
Even though
you visit your family their favorite meal is always Filipino dishes made by
someone they ordered for one week supply.
There are
some families who work hard to support their families and no time to cook a
healthy meal. Other families find ways to feed their children who come home from
school, work and so on they tend to pack meals ahead of time. The only thing
their family needs to do is warm it up when they come home.
Living in
the States it becomes more efficient to find ways to eat a meal and not have to
worry what your family will eat when you are not at home.
I get stuck
eating Filipino food because I am living with my family and I have no choice to
eat what is served at the table.
My sister
and her family members love buying food from different restaurant other than
Filipino food and they don’t like eating leftover. This is where I come I eat
what food they no longer want to eat this way I can run away from eating their
Filipino dishes.
My niece
and nephew would request my mom to cook pork spare ribs sinigang, chicken
adobo, calderata, chicken tinola, grilled eggplant with slice tomato, onion and
salted egg and sopas.
My niece
and nephew would request for my lazy sushi and Filipino spaghetti.
My mom and
I always go to Ranch 99, Seafood Market or any super market to buy ingredients
for the Filipino and Japanese dishes to be cooked for our family.
Sometimes
they have friends come over to eat at the house to eat the dishes we have
cooked at home.
It is a
great achievement when everyone tells you what a great cook you are. This way
everyone is happy and you gain nothing but compliments from them.
No matter
where you live people love Filipino food and it doesn't necessary mean only
Filipino people are eating it too all nationality around the world that won't
miss out on our cooking.
I remember
my dad brought my son and me to Jollibee to buy at Union City, California. I
saw so many Filipinos and it felt like my second home the Philippines.
