After going to a bridal shower that had awesome food, I went to a 81st birthday party that had REALLY awesome food. I haven’t been to a filipino party in the longest time, so it was cool to go back to my roots and the days when my parents used to have these kinds of parties for us at our home (they’re too old now, though). Anyway, we came two hours early (my mom forgot when the party started) so I got some nice shots of the food being prepped and untouched by the party guests.

H’okay so here’s a list of the deliciousness:

TOP: My mom’s friend’s brother cutting up the lechon (roast pig).
MIDDLE-LEFT: The lechon before it got all sliced up.
MIDDLE-RIGHT: My mom eating desserts at the previous bridal shower.
BOTTOM 9×9 (left-to-right, starting from the top left): Pancit, Mushroom Adobo, Menudo,
Arroz Valenciana, Talong, FRESH CUT PINEAPPLE! (also grapes, melon, and strawberry),
Bibinka, Turon, and Fruit Salad
