Dish & Destination celebrates the season of Christmas through the dishes that bring families together and destinations that glow with holiday tradition. From the sweet, comforting flavors of Filipino Christmas classics to festive tables around the world, this issue is a heartfelt journey into how food defines the joy of the season.

We begin in Pampanga, the Culinary Capital of the Philippines, featuring beloved Christmas delicacies such as bibingka, puto bumbong, ube halaya, and leche flan, before moving to hearty holiday mains like kaldereta and morcon that anchor the Filipino noche buena. The journey continues to Marikina, where iconic festive dishes like waknatoy and everlasting showcase a sweeter, distinct take on Christmas flavors.

Beyond the Philippines, this issue travels across Asia and the world, exploring how different cultures celebrate Christmas through food—from Japan’s famous Christmas fried chicken, to seasonal favorites in South Korea, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, and New York, where holiday dining becomes a cultural experience of its own.

Warm, nostalgic, and richly flavorful, Dish & Destination – Volume 1, Issue 2 is a celebration of tradition, travel, and the simple joy of sharing a meal—proving that wherever you are in the world, Christmas always finds its way to the table.
