Top 10 All Time Filipino Favourite Noche Buena Recipes
Top 6-4 (Barbecue, Rice and Salad)
6 . Pinoy Barbecue – Like the Americans usually this is the males contribution to the feast, but instead of large chunks of meat the Filipino version is skewered and served with sweet spicy vinegar dip. The aroma of this is contagious, if your neighbour makes them you feel making some of your own as well.

5 . Paella, Arroz ala Valenciana or Bringhe – Filipino cuisine would not be complete without some rice and since this is a special day we do cook some special rice. It varies in different provinces some cook Paella, some Arroz ala Valenciana and others prepare Bringhe. They are all nearly the same concept where rice is infused with other meats and vegetables to make it fancier.

4 . Macaroni Salad – Filipino’s barely have salads in their cuisine but if there is one it will still be loaded with carbs, take this macaroni salad for example, basically pasta, chicken, raisins, pickles and other ingredients dressed with rich mayonnaise dressing. As if the pasta is not fattening enough, well losing weight will be in the New Year’s resolution of the most.
