Today I will be sharing with you some of our traditional food. They are mostly used for parties such as: birthdays, weddings, Christmas, funerals, festivals and even just a simple family gathering.
The first dish is called Lumpia or Spring Rolls in English. 
Lumpia is made of vegetables and meat and it is one of our most common dishes that you can find in any kind of gathering celebration. Generally, we serve this dish as an appetizer with a dipping sauce such as: soy sauce, vinegar, or a sweet sauce.
If you would like to try and cook this at home, feel free to check this website out and it will show you how to make it step by step.
No family gatheri
ng or party is complete without a plate of chopped lechon or a roast pig delivered right before the meal starts. The way it is made in our country, is with a whole pig cooked on a large stick over a pit filled with charcoal. In the Philippines, Cebu lechon has gotten a worldwide acknowledgement, but other provinces also have their own unique techniques when it comes to roasting a pig.
Last but not the least. Adobo, which is my most favourite dish in the Philippines. It was traditionally cooked in clay pots, but nowadays Adobo is made in more common metal pots or woks. 
Prior to this blog, I talked about when the Spaniards invaded the Philippines for a decade. They witnessed this traditional cooking method and they named it adobo, which means marinade in Spanish.
