Octopus Sisig, Sisig Pasta, Grilled Sinigang? Celebrate the diversity of Filipino culinary talent and dishes at Funlasang Pinoy Year 2

Unilever Food Solutions’ Funlasang Pinoy returns grander, 

as the competition searches for three of the country’s most talented and innovative chefs and cooks

While Filipino diners are being exposed to an array and fusion of internationally-inspired flavors and textures (not to mention the global chains!), there is no denying that there is nothing more comforting than the aroma and taste of our own cuisine. Inspired from and reflective of our diverse cultures and rich heritage, Filipino dishes are created from a medley of spices and ingredients, and can make for some of the most exciting dishes, both at home and abroad. 

Filipino food doesn’t always have to mean pork sinigang, chicken adobo, or beef kare kare. With some of the most talented chefs at the forefront of championing modern takes on Filipino dishes, culinary triumphs take the form of bold remakes of our classic favorites. If you haven’t tried octopus sisig, sisig pasta, or grilled sinigang yet, then you have definitely been missing out! These are just three of the nine innovative Filipino food discoveries that made it to the finals of the first-ever Funlasang Pinoy held last year. 

Palamig ka muna with McDonald’s summer desserts and Al James

Summer is the perfect time to do the things you love doing. It means no school and no homework, having lots of time to hang out with friends and being able to enjoy different experiences.

As much as we look forward to summer’s fun and adventure, we can sometimes wish to take a break from all the activities that the season brings too. Just like what teen celebrities Gabbi Garcia and Ruru Madrid discover in McDonald’s’ new summer ad, you can always, find ways to beat the heat, fight the boredom, and enjoy spending time with yourself or with friends if mag-palamig ka muna,” as underground hip hop artist AI James sings throughout the video that gives off the chill and cool vibe you look for during summertime.

Live Happy, Stay Healthy with LG

Your home is more than just four walls and a roof—it is a living space, a sanctuary for resting and restoring the mind, a place for peace with your loved ones. But sometimes modern life has other ideas, filling up our precious time with endless chores. In between making sure our rooms are dust-free, seeing to it that the fridge is well-stocked with fresh produce, and trying to cook healthy food for our families to consume, most of us don’t really get to enjoy home as a space for optimal rest and relaxation.  

Good thing, innovative technology is slowly beginning to invade every corner of our residences, providing time-saving, user-friendly devices that are meeting the needs of consumers rather than simply serving as the latest techie gadgets. Home appliances are constantly evolving into nifty, consumer-centric machines that make our lives easier—and our homes considerably cleaner. From vacuuming to clearing the air of pollutants to helping you cook in the most efficient way, these intelligent gadgets allow you to automate time-consuming actions, freeing up time so you can do the things you really enjoy.

Traveling Filipino chef serves the flavors of home one pop-up dinner at a time

Globe-trotting Filipino chef Yana Gilbuena furthers her advocacy of spreading the flavors of the Philippines to the world with her SALO Series pop-up dinners, serving delectable Filipino dishes using well-loved Filipino condiments.

Thousands of miles away from her home in the Philippines, an Iloilo-born chef with no formal culinary training has taken it upon herself to promote Filipino cuisine to the world. 

Driven by a desire to spread the flavors of the Philippines, Chef Yana Gilbuena established the SALO Series, kamayan-style dining pop-up dinners that has travelled the 50 states of America. “Kamayan” is Filipino for dining with your bare hands, and Gilbuena’s goal is to serve delectable Filipino dishes to Filipino-Americans, Asians, and practically anyone else who eats.

SALO is culled from the Filipino word “salu-salo,” which refers to a banquet where partakers are encouraged to eat with their bare hands food spread over banana leaves. For Chef Gilbuena, SALO is an “educational, humbling, and communal” experience.
