rice is a staple food in philippines. so, you have to order viand and take your yummy lunch. i have chicken curry and rice today. (i was craving for chicken curry and i bought chicken curry at Tripple C store for only 20 pesos. carenderia is a place where you can buy viand at cheap price, home cooked meals in an instant) how about you? what did you have for lunch? did you bought it, where? or cooked it at home? or delivered? or none?

Hi donnakristel! Wow, that is one of my husband's favorite dish, chicken curry! And really, that is cheap for 20 pesos. I cook our meals each day and yesterday, I cooked chop suey and fried fish. Today, I am cooking fried Tilapia and have prepared pickled Bitter Gourd (Ampalaya) along of course with steam rice. Ummm, love it! Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

Hi donnakristel dear! haha..Pickled ampalaya is not bitter anymore because it is prepared in a mixture of brown sugar and vinegar. You should try it! haha..I remember when I was much younger, I really don't like ampalaya and whenever we have it on the dinner table, I usually have a lemon candy inside my mouth just to mask the bitter taste of the ampalaya somehow. haha.. Sure, I will give you tilapia..the big yummy ones! lovelots..faith

I had a rice, saute vegetables and adobo for lunch today. I just cooked the adobo and the saute vegetables is a ready made bought by my father at the neighbor for 10 pesos. He thought i hadn't cook so he bought it but it was nice to have two dish. However when i eat outside i also buy the same as you did the viand meals which is very cheap and yet delicious as well as money saving.

Hi donnakristel, here in my country is the same. Rice is also our staple food as well. We prepare rice for our two main daily meals most of the time. We have to cook 3 dishes at the same time. They are foods prepared from vegetables, fish and meat which eaten along with rice. We usually don’t prepare homemade lunch on Saturdays. My husband always purchases packed meal for us from a nearby vegetarian restaurant. We have potato curry, sweet and sour bean curds, stir fried bean sprouts, spicy mixed pickle with ingredients of pineapple, pepper and cucumber and brown rice as our lunch. All of them are delicious. Wish you all the best and happy posting.

Hello there! I am from the Philippines too. Just like you I had rice and chicken for lunch. But mine was fried chicken though. My mom cooked it and it was really delicious. I prefer home cooked meals because they are cheaper and are prepared really special.
