Growing up, it seems like every Filipino mom made this as lunchbox meals for their kids to take to school.

My mom made this so flavorful although she doesn’t eat chicken. She amazes me, how can she make something so good when she doesn’t even eat it.

My mom is the total package, great cook, great with sewing (made my shorts and pajamas), great with arts and crafts and great with managing finances.

I vividly remember helping my mom make an 8 feet Christmas tree when I was young. Each piece was sprayed with gold and burgundy and it was gorgeous. My mom is so creative that our Christmas tree was different every other year.

Recently, we were in the Philippines and had dinner at Mesa Restaurant. I asked my brother, hey does this remind you of something. The upholstery in the restaurant was similar to our house draperies made by mom when we were growing up. He remembered too!

My mom grew up in business, with no experience in cooking or sewing but when she got married, she used her time wisely and did what she loved to do while we were growing up.

Then, she run a successful catering business when we were in high school. We are so lucky to have my parents, they love us so much and made sure we have a secured future.
