Ang Sarap! Philippine Food Festival

Last December 8, I was one of the very few people that was invited to witness Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement's event which is the Philippine Food Festival. 

This is a culminating activity in which they recognize Filipino individuals and brands that have contributed in making Philippine cuisine to be one of the most sought after not just Filipinos but by foreigners as well. 

The event took place at the old Senate Hall of the National Museum which brought me to my younger years when me and my family used to go at the National Museum. 

The invited were treated to different food from around the Philippines by some of the concessionaires that participated like Apag Marangle, Tinapayan Festival and Victoria's which gave samples of their most notable products. 

One of the attendees was its newest member, Ms. Shalani Soledad which also enjoyed some bread from Tinapayan Festival and the other concessionaires.

The event was truly awesome because its not just a celebration of food that occurred but also a celebration to the people that made Filipino food as the best not just here but to the world. 

Much Love!

THE FIRST EVER BELLYSIMA FOOD FESTIVAL HITS GLORIETTA

Last September 6 2014, Glorietta once again gave their shoppers another exciting reason to celebrate and create memories by giving their valued customers a belly-full of goodness in partnership with Mercato Centrale Group and Our Awesome Planet as they brought BellySima - The first ever food fair. 

BellySima features artisans, gourmet and organic food and also non-food items in one stop. 

Its also the first ever buffet the features all things healthy and organic from home made cakes, juices and snacks made from organic ingredients that are fresh from the farms! 

I was able to sample some and to be honest I was bit floored with all the choices. One of the top picks I would say is Moo-La-la homemade ice cream because they have flavors that are so good like coffee and strawberry! 

Second pick is Tummy Topps because they have this very yummy basil pesto spread that is good with anything. This is also home made and I was able to chat with its owner. 

For shoppers who have a 1,000PHP receipt from Glorietta 3 and 5 merchants and restaurants and also Palm Drive restaurants may enter for FREE. Also VIPinoy and Amore cardholders may enter for FREE as well. 

 Tickets are sold via The Mercato Centrale Group will also be available at P50 at the Registration Booth.
