Cantonese cuisine – Jellybeans in the City

The holiday season is marked with get-togethers and celebrations. It is, after all, a time to cherish moments with loved ones, share delicious meals, and create lasting memories.

Recently, my foodie friends and I from #WeLoveToEatPH (WLTE) all got together for our yearly Christmas Party. This group was formed during the pre-pandemic times as we food content creators would frequently meet and chat during food events, and then started extending invitations to each other. As time went by, the group continued to grow in number and in projects, while maintaining a sense of true friendship and cooperation.

Our yearly Christmas Party is always a much-anticipated event, wherein we could gather, play fun games and, of course, enjoy great food.

Such was the case for our latest Yuletide shindig held at King Chef branch in West Avenue, Quezon City, where we all got the royal treatment.
