For most people, three meals a day is a standard–but not for us Pinoys. Being the foodies that we are, we usually have snacks in the morning, the afternoon, and sometimes in the evening, too! Meryenda knows no time–which is why pancit, lumpia, champorado, arroz caldo, and bibingka always sound good!
