For those in charge of the kitchen, here are the top things that should be always present in your pantry. These should always never ran out of your area.

Rice - When you have rice, rest assured you won't go hungry. People sometimes just drizzle it with oil and soy sauce or pour chocolate drink (like what my family does) :)
Butter - This gives taste to everything. It will also give your soup and other viands that oh so creamy texture that everyone loves
Eggs - I always find eggs very handy. Whenever I feel lazy to cook a meal, I just beat a couple of these for dinner and match it with Mang Tomas sarsa. So quick and easy. Yum! You can also make desserts out of these babies
Salt - Like butter, this gives taste to almost everything you cook. Sure it is a kitchen must-have.
Garlic, Onion and Ginger - These 3 should never ran out of your kitchen stash. You'll find it helpful whenever you saute or do some quick cooking
Rice - When you have rice, rest assured you won't go hungry. People sometimes just drizzle it with oil and soy sauce or pour chocolate drink (like what my family does) :)
