Key Points
- The aim of the first longest boodle fight held in Sydney was to introduce Filipino food and the traditional way of eating with hands, known as 'Kamayan'.
- 75 people attended the boodle fight in Sydney, and the organizers hope that more people will join in the coming years.
- Sizzling Fillo and Filo Station prepared the food for the boodle feast, and aside from Filipinos, people from other nationalities also participated in the feast.
According to the organiser and founder of Filipino Food Month, Anna Manlulo, the boodle feast in Sydney is a way to introduce Filipino food and culture, where people come together as one big family.
The boodle fight, a part of Filipino culture, is a military-style way of eating where individuals dine without any utensils and plates, instead using banana leaves and their hands.
Anna Manlulo, the founder of Filipino Food Movement Australia, is also the organiser of 'The Boodle Sydney.'
"It was really good; the food is delicious. I think my favorite is the pork, Crispy pata. Salamat," says Briana Collins.
