The trailer also featured a variety of Filipino dishes that will be featured in the show.

"Dito sa Hain, hindi lang basta pagkain ang aming ihahanda, kundi pagkaing hain sa kwento mo," Ella said in the trailer.

"Woooow Kaabang abang na naman 'to," another fan said.

Director Dan Villegas, assistant director Joi Bayan, and showrunner Antoinette Jadaone are the creators behind the series.

The show will be released on November 24.

"I think it’s perfect for the Christmas season because, at its core, it’s about love, friendship, and acceptance. Each episode tells a story of family, friendship, and love, all celebrated over food," Antoinette said at the "See What's Next" event in September as reported by Netflix.

Antoinette said that it's "about time that Filipino food gets its proper spotlight," as reported by PhilStar.

"Because as we all know there’s Vietnamese food, Thai food, and Indian food but we have yet to get the same celebration for Filipinos. So, it’s a Filipino-produced original Netflix series," she explained. 

"It’s a celebration not just of family, friends or love but us Filipinos will be celebrating the Filipino food that we (eat) each day. And when other countries watch the series, they will also feel it when they see it," she added. 

Netflix produced the show in association with CS Studios and Project8.
