MANILA, Philippines – It is no secret that Filipinos love festivities. And although each of us has our own unique ways of commemorating the festivities, one thing’s certain – we all serve good food.
Noche Buena has come and gone, and while we wait for another banquet on the Media Noche, we are giving you a feast for your eyes. Here's a rundown of the dishes that were present at the Noche Buena table of some of our Netizens.
Of course, Noche Buena would not be complete without lechon. Putting a twist to the traditional lechon is this family who served a lechon bread. Less cholesterol indeed!

We all have our own style of serving Filipino food. This family has their very own Venezuelan style suman.
