Ang Sarap! - Phlippine Food Festival by the Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement

December is known to be a month of celebration and food bounty, with Christmas and New Year celebration which shows off the food elegance each family and country has.  It was no big surprise that the Philippine Culinary Heritage Movement decided to stage this momentous event at the National Museum entitled: Philippine Food Festival – Ang Sarap!

With various respectable and credible food establishments and known food critics and dish creators joining the said event, “The Philippine Food Festival – Ang Sarap!” was a success!  Thanks also goes to The Big Difference Communication, from my end, for extending out an invite and assisting some of the participants who joined the said event.

Showing off what they have and what Filipino food is all about that night were:  Via Mare, Karen’s Kitchen, Commune, Tinapayan Festival, Apag Marangle, Aristocrat Restaurant, Nana Meng Tsokolate, Big Ben’s Kitchen – Home of D’Famous Imus Longganisa, Cerchio/Romulo Café, Patricio’s Cevicheria, Deep Dips, Wooden Spoon by Chef Daza, Bahalina, General’s Lechon, Pepita’s Kitchen, Clara Ole, Asiong’s of Cavite, Mama Sita (Kusina ni Mama Sita), and Manong’s Gallery Street Ice Cream, to name a few.

It was a night of recognition – those who contributed to the preservation of the Filipino food heritage and those who showcased their goods, fashion, fun, camaraderie and good Filipino food.  Strangers get to talk to fellow strangers all because of food.  Friends get to have laughter's in-between taste of the available ice cream.  Smiles were all around that night as people goes around interacting with one another and seeing what is offered on the other side of the hall.
