The very first thing that came to my mind when I was asked what is my favorite food is Lugaw (porridge). Especially the stores who sell lugaw at the streets and stalls, they really serve the best for me. Lugaw is best partnered with tofu or boiled egg and seasoned with pepper, onion leaves, fish sauce, and fried garlic. My husband knows how obsessed I am with lugaw. I can even with a bowl or two!
It may be usual or the same with the others, but it has a significant role on why it is my favorite food. It deeply reminds me of the times I spent with most of my special friends. Those memories I kept are the ones that I truly cherish that every time I get a chance to eat lugaw, I somehow reminisce those happy memories we spent together. I usually invite people to eat lugaw with me when I felt happy and comfortable with them.
For me, it's not just about the food or place you were eating, it's about the people you spent your time with.

P.S. I crave for a bowl of lugaw right now because of this entry. uwu
