Philippine International Food and Beverage Expo 2011

Our family is a big fun of food expo's... :D We often visit the website of the World Trade Center, Pasay city for event updates.

Last March 31st - April 2nd, the Philippine International Food and Beverage Expo was held.The Entrance fee was P80.00 and with 20% discount for Senior citizens.As quoted from the biztradeshows.com, it opens the gateway by offering innovative business opportunity to reach decision makers and new potential customers on the latest in food & manufacturing manufacturing, machinery, equipment and technology related to food processing, handling and packaging. The articale on that site says it all...

There were lesser participants compared to the other events we visited. The exhibition hall mostly have food processing equipment and machines.

First stop was the classy red-white 3-tiered cake in front of the hall.

My sister is big fan of Ilocos empanada, every time she sees a stall, she can't help but have one.

There was also a cocktail mixing competition sponsored by The Bar. The participants were Hotel and Restaurant Management students from colleges in Manila.

The most unforgettable thing we bought there was the sinfully delicious Bittersweet chocolate ice cream from Theobroma fine Belgian chocolate. At P90.00 per cone/cup, the taste of this chocolate ice cream is SO CHOCOLATE-TY.

My sis had another cone with the Hazelnut concoction.

We will surely visit their cafe at Robinson's place, Malate, :)
My verdict, they should have held this expo on a weekend. So there will be more visitors to go to the event.
'Til next expo! see yah soon WTC.

Turrones de Casoy: the melts in your mouth sugar-rush

Whenever we are having a road trip to Pampanga . We never failed to get some Turrones de Casoy (nougats with cashew nuts wrapped in melts in your mouth paper-thin wafer). The edible wrapper compliments the sweet honey nougat candy and the roasted chopped cashews on it. Before, we even concocted a Mango-turrones cake, very yummy! The layers of chiffon cake has chopped Turrones de Casoy and Mango-whipped cream. The crunch from the nougats had character to the soft chiffon and sweet mango, too bad there no pic. :( Not recommended for diabetics. This sweet pastry is originally made in Pampanga. However, Turrones de Casoy is now well available in supermarkets that showcases Filipino delicacies. The prices ranges from P75.00 - P200.00 depending on the weight per pack. It comes in 2 packaging: (1) in styrofoam plate wrapped in clear plastic contains roughly 25 pieces; and (2) in shallow tin can that has almost 50 pieces. xoxo tere ;)

Bibingka, a piece of Christmas is just around Manila

Browsing my Flickr account, I found some old pics and of course found a Christmas goodie that can be enjoyed whole year-round. Filipino Yuletide celebration is not complete without savoring some oldie but sure an all-time favorite Bibingka and Puto Bumbong. Bibingka is a composed of rice flour, coconut milk, and water. It is often topped with margarine, sugar, sliced cheese and salted egg. There is an old store named Felimar's Bibingka located near Tayuman Station of the LRT line 1. It's a humble store, with a quite dark ambiance, filled with several pugon (stone stove) and ceramic round pans. People from all walks of life often visits this store anytime of the day (yes! they can satisfy your late night craving :) ).Their best seller is this Bibingka...(i'll update the pic to a more vivid resolution once we have visited the store again.) The texture of their Bibingka has a perfect combination of a fluffy pancake, hint of the salty-ness from the melted cheese, slig...
