SM HYPERMARKET BATANGAS: Partners with Batanguenos with a BULALO FEST!

Just as promised on my recent post about the Sisig fest I have witnessed in SM HYPERMARKET PAMPANGA, Today I will be sharing the fun and "yummlicious" BULALO FEST I have ever seen at my next SM HYPERMARKET-hopping.

The most varied BULALO FEST I have ever seen happened at SM HYPERMARKET BATANGAS. I  don't know but I have a feeling that this is gonna be different since Batangas is known for colorful and delicious festivities. So I am sure this will be a success.

On a Friday afternoon, I was worrying that it might rain. But SM HYPERMARKET BATANGAS is prepared for this big event. And even the participants too! Check my photos of !the festivities, it might made you think of cooking your BULALO recipe dish.

These are the 10 Participants!

• Le Elegancia
• Ginazels' Catering
• Siemens
• Hot n' Cold
• El Toro
• Joel Arceo
• Lutong Bahay 
• Tapa, Caldereta, Atbp.
• Carlos' Place
• Place of Mine

Batangas being known as province where the seemingly hot bowls of BULALOS are cooked and served. Upon my obesrvation during that exciting afternoon , it will be a tough one for the Judges.

Just a look on all these BULALO entries makes me wanna "OMG Pls. tell me , Am I dreamin?"

I have personally visited each participants as they prepared their winning  "BULALO" dish. And I must say If only I could declare them all winners, WHY NOT?

But only 2 participants must emerged winners for The BEST TASTING BULALO DISH and the MOST NUMBER OF BOWLS MADE , each winner from the 2 category will win Php25,000 worth of SM GC's and Gift packs from SM HYPERMARKET BATANGAS.

Wait that was so generous of SM HYPERMARKET because the participants only have to purchase Php500 worth of items at SM HYPERMARKET BATANGAS and they will get to win that big amount. Hey , why I wasn't informed about it earlier? But no worries dear foodie enthusiasts because I'm sure next year there will be bigger prizes up for grabs!

Have seen the photos of the event here? Do you already have a bet on who won? If your guess is as good as mine !

 This is the BULALO entry from Lutong Bahay team and won The Most Number of

Bowls served.

HAPPY BREAD DAY!

Last Oct 17,2011 was marked as the World Bread Day  and to make it more remarkable here in the Philippines Gardenia Bakeries Philippines Inc (GBPI), makers of Gardenia bread which is known for its good taste, freshness, softness, oven-baked aroma and nutritional value, launch its "HAPPY BREAD DAY" together with the kids from Nayon ng Kabataan of the Dept. of Social Welfare and Development, celebrated and also in partnership with K.I.D.S ( Kabataan inyong Dapat Suportahan).


Gardenia celebrated "Happy Bread Day" to share the Philisophy behind why "World Bread Day" is celebrated. it is celebrated to teach us that the goodness of bread should be shared. 


Along with this momentous event, gardenia also launched "G-LOCK COLLAGE". It is a unique and creative idea conceptualized by Gardenia to expand it CSR (Corporate social responsibility) efforts in the community.

The G-LOCK COLLAGE will form a "collage" composed of of Gardenia's G-lock brad tags . the Collage will be equivalent to more than 3,000G-LOCK TAGS. One G-lock donated is equal to one bread loaf donated to to charities it supports. 


After the unveiling of this "G-LOCK COLLAGE", media and bloggers like me were able to tour the famous bread plant. And I was thankful to Gardenia for allowing me to bring my son along with me. My son had the chance to see the 6K Plant of Gardenia . And with the way I saw awe in his face I'm sure he's marveled at how all those breads were made in an hour only.
