"On December 31 (Bisperas ng Bagong Taón), Filipino families gather for the Media Noche, a lavish midnight feast that symbolizes their hopes for prosperity in the coming year, and lasts until the following morning." Please join me in celebrating the end of 2018 while welcoming the beginning of 2019 with a Filipino-inspired media noche feast. These are inspired by my favorite dishes growing up in the Philippines.
