Food creator Ninong Ry shared how he was able to make eight dishes for Noche Buena for just P1,500. He shared this in his vlog "Mahirup sa 500 pero 1500 Kaya."
According to Ninong Ry, the video was shot on November 12, before the issue of the P500 Noche Buena budget of the DTI came to light. “We did this to show that with P1,500, you can prepare a Noche Buena with dignity for the whole family,” he said.
The menu includes dishes such as chicken hamonado, fish shanghai, buko pie, laing, baked macaroni, tilapia escabeche, beef misono, and palitaw. He said the menu is perfect for a family of four to five.
Last month, Trade Secretary Cristina Roque said that a simple Christmas meal can still be had for P500 for a family of four or less, based on the DTI price guide.
