In our restaurant we had been seeing an increases numbers of customers strolling in for snack around 10am or 3 pm. Starting with morning merienda (10am snack) and afternoon merienda (4pm snack). Whether eating at home or dining out, the Filipinos love to eat communal-style, with everyone meeting together in an informal social gathering called a salu-salo. Every event, be it wedding, birthday or meeting, is an excuse to have a grand celebration of endless eating, drinking and munching. Like Singaporean the Filipinos, food is considered very important as it represents an integral part of local art, culture and communal existence. Naturally, our hokkien mee (福建面 in Chinese) by word-of-mouth had generate such "buzz" that is affordable and goods or "mura and masarap" selling at only P40.00 is served with slices of Chinese sausages, vegetables and very small strips of pork or chicken Small amounts of fried pork lard is added in to increase the tastiness of the Hokkien Mee. The frying skill of the chef would determine the quality of the Fried Hokkien Mee. It should be served wet and not too dry.
