In my country, most Filipinos tend to cook a celebratory food called 'pancit' or dried noodles. They believe that it can make the life of the celebrant longer if eating and having this food. This practice was passed on from one generation to another. It means that we considered it as one of the celebratory foods on the table. What local dishes do you practice every birthdays? Do you have a celebratory food?

This is good to know the tradition for birthdays. I do not recall anything here except for a birthday cake.

For the modern people, birthday cake needs to have. My niece usually asks for this on her birthday annually.

I can’t think of one particular food. It can be anything.

I think birthday cake is always prepared and served during birthdays there, right?

It is thought to have started with the Chinese and has since become a part of our cultural celebrations. We've altered it by including spaghetti as a sign of long life. Anything with noodles will suffice now.
