What made his top 5?
We all like to over-indulge in food during the Christmas holidays, and Chad is no exception. Just like you and me he enjoys this festive season when family and friends come back home and celebrate by hanging out, drinking and eating. Here are Chad’s absolute favorite foods to eat during the holiday season.
Holiday Ham
For starters who would not include the classic holiday ham on the list? A sweet honey glaze normally accompanies this dish along with cloves to give it just the right amount of balance between sweet and spice.
Fruit Cake
Chad was quick to name the fruitcake as one of his favorite items on the Christmas menu. Though this traditional holiday cake often has a bad reputation, if prepared well it’s wonderful.
Pasta
Even us Filipinos have grown accustomed to the cuisines of Europe. A favorite of Chad’s is the classic Lasagna, which you can find increasingly on the Filipino palate these days.
Lechon
Who could forget the juicy, succulent, rotisserie pig we call lechon! With its copper red crackling skin, and mouthwatering aromas of lemongrass, chilis, spices this perfection of a dish is ever present on all food countdowns.
At the end, Chad opted for a beverage instead of an actual dish. He then explained that the perfect compliment to a perfect dinner would be to have the perfect glass of wine… and then something hard he jokes. Something sweet like a Riesling he says to compliment any and all sweet desserts you’ll be devouring during the festivities, and then later on in the night you can switch to a scotch on the rocks.
