Kamayan is a traditional Filipino dining style where food is served on a banana leaf and eaten with the hands, without the use of utensils. This communal and immersive experience typically features a variety of dishes, such as grilled meats, seafood, rice, vegetables, and sauces, all laid out on the banana leaf. Kamayan, which translates to "by hand," is not just about the food but also about the shared experience, emphasizing togetherness and the joy of eating with family and friends.
