Kamayan Feast at Sunda

Last Sunday, I had the great pleasure of visiting one of my favorite restaurant, Sunda (110 W Illinois St, Chicago, IL 60654) for their Kamayan Feast! What is a a Kamayan Feast? Why, it's one of the best way to experience a meal. Confession: this is my second time attending Sunda's Kamayan Feast. Here's what went down this time around:

Upon arrival, we met at the bar and each got a Mai Tai. Super delicious, so pretty, and included in the price of the ticket.

While we were drinking, the chefs were busy throwing all sorts of food items on the communal table, atop a spread of banana leaf. We're talking lechon and shrimp and rice and chicken and pork belly and mangos! (but where were the longaniza?!) And perched atop all this were several fried sea basses! What a crazy sight!

Then we began eating and eating and eating. There was so much food that we were all bursting at the seam. They had to bring out boxes for us to take some home.

Once the tables were cleared, they brought out a Sunda-fied Halo Halo. OMYGOSH! It was great! We're talking fruits mixed with condensed milk and crushed ice, with 2 scoops of ice cream on top.

It was the perfect ending to that night of feasting like kings! If you guys ever get a chance to attend, do so. Until then, just keep looking and drooling at the pictures. I know I will be!
