Filipinos are renowned for their hospitality, strong family bonds, and extensive Christmas celebrations that often last for weeks. Most families celebrate at home or gather in restaurants and other venues to catch up with relatives. One thing that is always present at these gatherings is food—plenty of it. Everyone deserves to enjoy delicious meals while celebrating together.

They say love is best expressed through food – and for Tia Belle’s, these scrumptious Christmas dishes are just the perfect addition to your holiday feast.

Be sure to feast your eyes and stomachs with these delectable dishes and overflowing hospitality that Tia Belle’s has to offer!

Tia Belle’s special Christmas dishes revolve around pasta and noodles. Aside from the symbolism of long life, these dishes are also a staple in every Christmas celebration and even in the New Year. A celebration is not complete without these Filipino dishes we love and adore so much. Each dish will surely bring back a lot of memories, and eventually make way to create new ones this year!

They offer Pansit Malabon, Pansit Siomai, Miki Bihon, Pansit Bihon, Pansit Canton and Pansit Tofu – all of which are fit for family and clan reunions. The more food, the merrier their stomachs will be!

Mucho Lomi

Food can bind families together

Evelyn Wise, the hands-on owner of Tia Belle’s, truly believes that food can bind families together, just like how her restaurant is bound to her heart.  “Every time I am in the kitchen, cooking and concocting sauces, I feel like dancing  — dancing with my wok,” she says. Cooking has become both her solace and passion, a privilege she enjoys as people appreciate her food. She has a diverse palate, as her cooking styles reflect the years she lived in Europe before she put up a Filipino-style restaurant in our country. For her, cooking can change the world, one plate at a time.

The restaurant itself also bears a testament to how wonderful Filipino culture can be – adorned with a homey ambiance, it is surely the place to be during the holidays. It gives you a sense of belongingness in a bigger community – just like Evelyn intended. “We want to give our customers an authentic and genuine glimpse of the Philippines by honoring and delving into the Filipino culture and traditions through our services, atmosphere, art, and food,” says Evelyn.

This Christmas season, Tia Belle’s doors are always welcome for people who want a genuine Filipino experience of the holidays, complete with stellar service, delectable dishes, and good company. The holidays will never be boring for your heart and stomach whenever you’re at Tia Belle’s.
