Often, hard working people does not have time to cook food for Media Noche and family reunion gatherings. What busy Pinoys normally do, just to cut expense, they tend to pick a family member who has a bigger home space to celebrate New Year and Family Reunion.

And then, New Year’s Family reunion becomes potluck style. Food during potluck must be well coordinated and well planned. Many of us would just make a pre-order in one food establishment that is open during this day and Ilustrado is accepting pre-orders and these are their food idea for your very special occasion.
