Barrio Fiesta sees bright spot in rise of ‘home cooks,’ online entrepreneurs amid pandemic

It's been months since COVID-19 pandemic has crippled businesses across industries, but amidst all these, Filipinos remain strong and vigilant, and they are resilient and this Filipino brand has found a silver lining—pushing through with an expansion plan despite challenging times.

Prime Global Corporation (PGC) is taking on the “new normal” with optimism as it leverages Filipinos’ rekindled love for home-cooking and the rise of the home-based food delivery business amid dine-out and movement restrictions to boost sales of its Barrio Fiesta products.

Adjusting to a changed food business landscape, Barrio Fiesta has recalibrated its sales approach, upping its online presence as it continues to diversify its product portfolio, from its top-selling shrimp paste to new sauces, spreads, dry mixes and snacks.

Archipelago 7107 by Barrio Fiesta

Archipelago 7107 by Barrio Fiesta is a perfect example of classic meets modern tradition. With her modern fixtures and exquisite Filipino specialty foods, makes her a must-go food destination.

Tinapa roll (P175), fried spring rolls with sweet sauce. Not your ordinary spring rolls, since they're made with tinapa fillings. It's the perfect starter to tease those taste buds.

Get to try both of these delicious rice combinations. on the left we have Ilocano Rice (P245), which is made up of crisp fried bagnet, Vigan longganisa, salted egg, onions, tomatoes on top of flavored rice and on the right, we have Tuyo Rice (P175), garlic fried rice with dried fish, scrambled eggs and tomatoes on the side.

These rice specialties are a meal itself, combining the best of the North and the best of the South. This would surely capture every Filipino's palate.

Ibayo by Barrio Fiesta

Remembering the good old days.... We would always dine at Barrio Fiesta in J. Bocobo St. in Malate, Manila during the weekend. Oh yes! those were the good old days... family times, great food, fond memories.

But how can we ever forget our favorite dishes.... now list them down Bouillabaisse (Barrio Fiesta Seafood Cream Soup); the ever so mouth watering Crispy Pata; the gravy rich Bulalo Steak; yummy Camaron Rebosado; and the delectable Kare-Kare with a pinch of Bagoong (Shrimp paste).

But as time progresses, things change, people age, but the tradition still stays the same... but now with a different twist. Now from the long line of new generations from the clan of Barrio Fiesta, we now have IBAYO.

IBAYO by Barrio Fiesta, (ib'ayo) - meaning across prep. on the other side of; sa kabila; sa ibayo, sa kabilang panig o ibayo.

I've had one of the most fulfilling meals that I have ever had, the taste and aroma of the food being served to us was very tempting and it was really hard not to eat that much!! God help us..

Now may I take you to a place, a happy place where all food served is good and gone.
