On our trip through the Philippines we were invited into a local home, up in the mountains of Mabalacat. There we were treated to a traditional meal where you only eat with your hand. As I sat down and grabbed my first handful of rice one of the locals through the translator asks, “is this the first time he’s eating with his hands?” Why yes, yes it is. Don’t judge!

I had this fun idea to prepare a boodle fight for lunch and finally I did! This was so delicious the whole family was like so happy eating our favorites. We’ll definitely go for a 2nd round.

It’s always the great to eat lunch when you’re craving for something and finding it out and actually preparing it.  Who says you only do this on a picnic? We had this for our lunch inside the comfort of our own home. We used banana leaves as plates!

This ones a personal request by my son Marcus. I was surprised that he was craving to eat mung beans since this is seldom served in our dinner table. He was very excited coming from school and find out about his request. He loves to eat rice. Also we paired this dish to pork cracklings (Chicharon) yuuuummmmy.
