The 10 Labors of Hercules aka Jeff eats the world.

Weddings in the Philippines are no different than the states when it comes to feeding people and the one we went to certainly didn't disappoint. There were 10 things on the menu served family style and I was challenged by Jules to make a dent in each one.

Cold Cuts (pork, beef, century eggs, seaweed and others):













Spinach and seafood soup:













Beef Tenderloin Chinese Style:













Chicken and Broccoli:













Steamed Garlic Shrimp:













Steamed Lapu Lapu with Ginger and Scallions:













Birthday Noodles:













Pandan Jelly with Coconut Milk and Cornflakes:













Ube Sesame Ball:













and the 10th course? Rice of course.

Each one was pretty intimidating and I looked like this after each dish:



















I'm pretty sure I'm gaining all the weight I've lost. Totally worth it.
