Sa Kusina


In the kitchen, my Lola stands, 

Her apron tied, her hands on pans, 

The air filled with scents divine, 

A symphony of flavors fine. 


The sizzle of pork on the stove, 

The aroma of garlic cloves, 

The tangy vinegar and soy, 

In a wok she deftly employs. 


In the kitchen, my Lola reigns,

A culinary queen, no stains,

Her Filipino food is a delight,

A taste that lingers day and night. 


She passes down tradition true,

A heritage that’s loved anew, 

Her recipes are a family heirloom, 

A reminder of home, a comforting room.
