A little break from just business I wanna talk about my love for food.
I watch almost all cooking shows on cable tv, from Masterchef, Top Chef to Rocco’s Dinner Party. I feel proud of all the Filipino contestants who feature Filipino culture in the food they cook.
Right now I’m watching Rocco’s Dinner Party and in the elimination round “King” the Filipino contestant cooked the Pancit Bihon. This thin noodle dish occupies dinner tables during birthdays and fiestas. This also sells for as low as P15.00 in fast food restaurants.
Rocco obviously liked the taste when he said:
There are many nice flavors in here…
He however indicated that he would have wanted the scallops on the plate, but just as it was “King” made it to the Dinner party.
Rocco’s Diners wil also get a taste of the buko pandan, “coconut lemon grass panna cota”.
Kain na!!!(Let’s Eat)
Please fill in “King’s” last name coz I didn’t catch it.
