Because I lived away from home the last 10 or so years, I never got to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with my family in Manila.
This year is the first time and I was pretty excited about it.
As expected, it was…
CHAOS!!!
Fitting 5 tables, 50-something people, and all the dice game prizes in Auntie Kiddie's dining room
was not a simple feat
We set up the buffet outside and ate hovering around the spread
Standing, chewing, swallowing and talking (without spitting food) all at the same time is
not easy, but each Fatterside member has proudly mastered the art
Hot Prawn Salad
Fried Fish and Corn Soup
Kikiam
Fried Chicken
Pancit Canton
Fried Rice
And the main event, Ulcing's Cebu Lechon
Extremely tender and flavorful meat
Crispy, glistening skin
Working on the second pig
See the lechon juices flow
Mary Grace Mango Cake
Biko
Bananas, saba and rambutan
Nikko baked Calamansi Muffins
And brownies that made some of us really happy
We moved around tables, compared notes, invented our own rules, picked our own prizes...
It was a jungle, and we were wild and happy animals :)
The helpers had their own fun, too
The manongs and manangs picked their own prizes and all went home happy :)
Ulcing's Cebu Lechon: A-Q6 JUSMAG, Southside, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig, Philippines.
