Savor The Moment

Holidays are described with food made from the heart and memories made around the table

- Mia Castro

Food is a unique universal language spoken especially during the holiday season. The different cultures around the world all celebrate differently but one thing similar always remains, and that is food is responsible for bringing people together. May it be a fresh-from-the-oven minced pie for the Brits, or a crispy lechon for Filipinos, food represents a treat for a life well-lived. On Christmas Eve this year, let’s enjoy the comfort of our home, the company of our loved ones and celebrate the fact that we all got through the year together. From Chef Miko Aspiras of Le Petit Souff lé to Barcino Restaurant and The Grazing Home, they tell us that there’s no rush; together let’s savor the moment.

TRAVEL WITH EVERY MEAL

Holiday travel is one of the best parts that come with the season. However, this year we’re all made to stay at home. Nevertheless, because of food we are still able to experience different cultures around the world just through our taste buds. Barcino, a longstanding toprate Spanish bar-restaurant spreads the holiday cheer by taking us on a gastronomic journey to Spain with their authentic paellas and cochinillo.

If Spain and the Philippines have one thing in common, it’s that we enjoy the holidays by dining with the finest food to commemorate the merry night. “It is as part of any feast and celebration like any other. Likewise, in Barcino, food is an integral part of the celebration as much as how Filipinos see it as well. Food brings us together in the same way Barcino brings us together with our loved ones not only during this holiday season but throughout the year,” Marketing Director Ruby Bautista says.
