Crazy good FILIPINO CHRISTMAS Desserts
PHILIPPINES – A multitude of islands in Southeast Asia that pride themselves on their colorful festivities and delicious cuisine all year round. Known for its infamous adobo and lechon this country is also known for having the longest Christmas season in the world!
As early as September locals began putting up their Christmas decorations such as colorful lanterns (parol) and Christmas carols were played all day long in shopping malls to remind everyone that the season of generosity had officially begun.
The highlight of this four-month long celebration is of course the Noche Buena (Spanish for Good Night) – a traditional Christmas Eve feast to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is said that during the Spanish era friars would demand churchgoers to fast until Christmas morning but Filipinos were usually hungry after returning from the Christmas Eve mass called the “Misa de Gallo” in Spanish or “Simbang Gabi” in Filipino. Because of this locals came up with a way to eat small meals before going to bed thus giving birth to the tradition of “Noche Buena”.
