Last Sunday, I had the biggest surprise from my sorority sisters!
After hanging out with me in the living room, they put me upstairs in my bedroom. They took turns entertaining me while others prepared the food. A few of the cooked food was brought by them.
According to CoPilot:
"A kamayan feast is a Filipino communal meal where food is served on banana leaves, and diners eat with their hands. This tradition, which means "by hand" in Tagalog, fosters a sense of community and intimacy among guests. Kamayan feasts are often enjoyed during family gatherings, festivals, and celebrations, and they can include a variety of dishes such as rice, meats, fish, and vegetables. The practice has ancient roots, originally serving as a quick meal for soldiers in the military, and has evolved into a cherished cultural experience that emphasizes sharing and togetherness."
Kamayan, or hand-to-mouth dining, has always been a part of Filipino culture, symbolizing the intimate and personal connection to food and the act of sharing it with loved ones. Source
