Many Filipino really loves eating, sometimes it is there pastime. We usually eat as much as 5 times in a day. This includes agahan (breakfast), merienda sa umaga (morning snack), tanghalian (lunch), merienda sa hapon (afternoon snack) and hapunan (dinner). Since the people of the Philippines are known for being hospitable and gregarious, food is the basis of Filipino social life.
At a typical Philippine street, you will often see street food vendors selling either junk foods or street foods like the very popular inihaw; either isaw, betamax, adidas and many more. Also, fishballs, squidballs, kwek-kwek and kikiam are popular Filipino street foods as well. And the most of all the balut and penoy food that no one can forget and resist the smell and taste of it.
It is part of our tradition to attend the occasion of our neighbors or friends as a sign of being acceptance to the invitation given by the celebrator like fiesta, birthday, wedding etc.. and it is traditional for us to attend on that kind of occasion.
