The kitchen/dining area is the heart of the Filipino home. It’s where conversations are shared and memories made over warm and delicious home cooked meals. And we all know that nothing beats lutong bahay.
I write these not only out of pure nostalgia. Our love for lutong bahay is backed by hard data. According to the Ikea Life at Home Report 2023, 38 percent of Filipinos think a home cooked meal is one of the things that bring them the most joy in their life.
I guess most of us will agree. After all, our earliest memories of food are those cooked by those we hold dearest in our hearts—nanay’s bulalo, lola’s dinuguan, or tito’s sisig. Each lutong bahay favorite is the standard against which all similar others are measured.
Furthermore, the same study also found that cooking for oneself and others is one of the activities Filipinos do to maintain a sense of wellbeing at home. It’s an act that brings much joy both to the one who cooked the meal and the one on the receiving end.
These findings are testaments to how we love cooking and eating. That’s why having your dream kitchen come to life is a huge plus in making your home an even happier—not to mention, a yummier place to be.
