Happy Holiday season to all our wonderful readers! Tis’ the season full of fun, forgiveness, family, and most importantly: FOOD!!. In our culture, most Filipino Christmas celebrations are not complete without the feast before the Christmas day that we call Noche Buena. However, each family celebrates their holidays differently; and here at Bon Appetit, a food blog run by five different people, we ought to show to you the diverse food we were served on Christmas.

Here at the house of Tomon (Writer Emman’s family), a variety of flavors from classic Filipino cuisine and desserts were served. In our home, we had a seafood and vegetable boil that included shrimp, corn, boiled potatoes, and etc. Classic Filipino cuisine were served as well, such as menudo, Embutido, liempo, and Filipino-Style Spaghetti. For dessert, we had boxes of donuts from J.Co, a lovely Ube-Leche cake from Conti's bakeshop and restaurant and the famous Mango-Graham float. Overall the food was wonderful! Why wouldn’t it be? It was made with love and the joy of the holidays. I adored the savory tastes of the “ulam” and the sweetness of the spaghetti sauce!

There are two dishes from our Christmas Eve dinner that I particularly enjoy. The first one is my personal favorite: buttered shrimp. My mother made this for us, and I can't get enough of it. It has a great flavor and large shrimp, so I really enjoyed it. All of us know how delicious buttered shrimp are, especially when they are made by our loved ones; it really adds extra flavor to them. I'm not sure what the name of the second dish is, but I believe it's sticky oyster chicken. It was delicious, and it tasted similar to adobo but was sweeter. I love how the sweetness and flavor of oysters compete with each other, and trust me, it's a little spicy, but I think it's just my mom's preference to put some chili on it. Overall, it's delicious.

One of the best dishes that my mom prepared for our Christmas eve dinner was Pork Hamonado. Pork is simply sweetened with pineapple sauce to make Hamonado. Honestly, this is my favorite dish that my mom cooks and I can say that it is also one of the most delicious dishes that she cooks for us. This is only one of many Filipino meals that contains sweetness. This meal is typically served over the Christmas season. Some of you may be wondering if sugar and meat, such in this recipe for pork hamonado, can actually work together. The simplicity of this recipe for pork hamonado is what I enjoyed best about it. Imagine preparing a delicious dinner in only three simple steps—marinating, pan-frying, and simmering. Even new cooks can easily produce this dish. The taste was yet another item that caught my attention. I cherished the way the flavors were balanced. It was fantastic, in my opinion.

For our seventh destination, my friends and I dined at the Kenny Roger’s Roasters restaurant located on the first floor of the Fairview Terraces mall. We visited this restaurant when we decided to hang out at the mall after attending our year end party. This day was quite joyous and filled with laughter and conversation and what made it better was the incredible food we ordered at this fine establishment.

I ordered a Quesadilla valued at 215 PHP whilst my four other friends ordered rice meals valued at 255-300 PHP depending on the meal and the number of sides. The Quesadilla I had was delicious and flavorful, it had a nice kick of savory and spicy taste balanced with the cheesy flavor within. My friend who sat beside me had a Grilled Fish valued at 270-300 PHP and it tasted good when I asked for a bite. My two other friends had Burger Steak meals valued at 255-285 PHP and they enjoyed their meals as well as my other friend who had a Grilled Steak valued at 255-285 PHP as well. The corn muffins they served per meal were incredible as well, it was fluffy and had a balanced sweetness!

We all had a lovely time dining at that place and I would definitely come back again.

For our 5th destination I travelled with my cousin's to SM Baguio located at Luneta Hill, Upper Session Rd, Baguio and dined in at Shakey's Pizza Parlor. When my family is craving for pizza, mojos, or chicken, there is only one place we think of: Shakey's Pizza Parlor. I guess most of us are aware what Shakey's are known for, they're known for their original thin crust pizza, crispy fried chicken, craveable Mojo.

After a long and tiring walk me and my cousin's decided to eat at Shakey's Pizza Parlor. We ordered one the best pizza that they have which is the Garlic and Cheese Pizza, If cheese is too boring for you? If so, the Garlic and Cheese flavor is perfect for you! The richness of the cheese is complemented by the garlic's added flavor and kick. Unfortunately, I was unable to taste it, but from what my cousins said, I can say that it is amazing and that they would highly recommend it to you all. We also ordered Skilleti which is a classic flavor of pasta that Shakey's has, Skilleti is Shakey’s version of spaghetti, A combination of chorizo, salami, and a hearty tomato sauce flavored with herbs and spices. The Skilleti was excellent, especially if you don't like sweet pasta sauce. We also ordered their Garlic Bread Loaf, which is considered to be the ideal food to eat with pasta. It is flavorful enough to be eaten as an appetizer and has just the right amount of crunch on the edges and softness inside. It tastes spicy and buttery. Lastly, we had their famous chicken, but sadly, they were out of mojo. Instead, they replaced good-tasting fries, which will undoubtedly satisfy your cravings for savory, salty chicken and potatoes.

I must admit that I enjoyed each and every taste of the meal. The service is excellent, especially given how crowded it may be. Shakey's is excellent, especially when you're wanting savory food that is also affordable and of high quality. Without a doubt, I'll return and eat at Shakey's again.

For our 4th destination, I traveled with my mother to SM Fairview located in Quezon City to try the fabulous TOKYO TOKYO which is a famous Japanese restaurant. They serve a lot of Japanese foods and one of their best-selling is their bento meals especially Chicken Karaage and Shrimp Tempura.

When we entered the restaurant and saw the menu, their cheesy beef ramen piqued my interest because I had never had one like it before. When I checked the price, it was surprisingly low for the amount of beef, noodles, and cheese in it. The smell of cheese was delicious, and it made my little tummy happy when I smelled it. The creaminess of the soup was excellent and I think it is because of the cheese. The beef is also one of the good things here because it adds flavor to the ramen.

We also tried their bento meals and I had the Prawn Tempura which is also good. It was fine, and the crispiness of the tempura is fire, despite the fact seems there appears to be nothing special about it, and it was just your ordinary tempura, but hello? For only 185 pesos, you can get three prawn tempura and a side dish of vegetables. It is well worth the money.

For those of you who are craving Japanese foods, I recommend TOKYO TOKYO, which serves a variety of Japanese cuisine. I swear, it was well worth it, and your money will not be wasted.

For our 2nd destination I travelled from caloocan to Ayala Malls Fairview Terraces which is located in Quezon city just to try what the kyukyu ramen 99 is offering. when I first saw the name of the restaurant, it immediately caught my attention so I didn't hesitate to try it. From the name itself kyukyu ramen 99 is offering a cheapest yet quality Japanese ramen. Kyukyu ramen 99 is serving different varieties of ramens without breaking your wallet. Tonkotsu Ramen, Special Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, Ichiban Ramen, Spicy Ichiban Ramen, and Cheesy Tonkotsu Ramen are some additional options that are worth of a try and are all priced around 200 pesos.

Imagine being able to buy a high-quality Japanese ramen for just 99 pesos. The serving size of the 99-peso Kyukyu Ramen is also generous. The noodles at Kyu Kyu Ramen 99 are in no way comparable to those in instant noodles. You can watch them quickly and simply cook the noodles and combine them with broth and chopped pork, customers can see how their food is created because the kitchen is open to the Japanese-inspired dining area. When compared to more expensive ramen shops I've gone to, the soup wasn't very flavorful, but for 99 pesos? It is enough to satisfy your cravings.

Since I haven't visited Japan yet, I can't say that the ramen they offer is authentic Japanese ramen. However, I have read some reviews from food bloggers who claim that the ramen at Kyukyu Ramen 99 is authentic, but I have always had my doubts because it is simple to write the word "authentic". I can assure you, that the ramen tastes good given its low price, and when compared to other low-cost ramen houses I have visited, Kyukyu Ramen is superior. Additionally, compared to other ramen I've had, this ramen is not salty.

Even though Kyu Kyu Ramen 99 is affordable, it may satisfy your cravings for ramen and Japanese cuisine.

For our first destination I traveled with my family to SM City Fairview located in Quezon City to dine at The City Buffet restaurant. Located on the second floor of this large mall, this restaurant offers a variety of foods from local cuisine and from our neighboring countries in East Asia and Europe! The restaurant usually opens at 10 am and closes 9 pm with varying times on holiday seasons; The cost of booking a reservation for the restaurant is at 528 PHP to 628 PHP for adults depending on whether or not you are dining at lunchtime or dinnertime and for children below 4 feet tall the cost is at 259 PHP and for kids 3 feet tall and below their reservations are free.

` I was fortunate enough to have gotten my reservation for this restaurant for free as it was a treat from my family for being invited to a triple-birthday party for my Mom’s, Uncle’s, and Nephew’s birthdays who were all born at some time in November. We usually go to this restaurant for special occasions such as birthdays.

The food was excellent. The menu, as I said, contained a variety of foods from many cuisines and cultures both ours and from other countries. For my plate I had yellow fried rice, Italian spaghetti, barbeque chicken, sisig, and a large sum of sushi. This menu really took me on a world tour as I got to feast on the tasteful cultures of our east asian neighbors, as well as discover a newfound appreciation and curiosity for Mexican food when I tried a quesadilla for the first time. My family members’ plates consisted of Lechon, various soups, desserts such as cheesecake and chocolate mousse cubes as well as different flavored ice cream, dimsum, Tonkatsu, Tempura, Halo-Halo, roasted corn, French-fries, mashed potatoes, Pancit, Butchi, Meatballs, and so much more!

The concept of an all you can eat restaurant is self explanatory, and unfortunately all I could eat was a very little sum of food since the ones they served were very filling and delicious. There are still a variety of food in their menu that I am yet to try, so when someone has a birthday and my family wants to return I shall definitely indulge deeper into their diverse cuisine.
