Experience Sabores de España 2017 at Marco Polo Plaza Cebu


Last Wednesday night was my first time to experience Marco Polo Plaza Cebu's Sabores de España. I attended the opening of this year's Spanish Culinary Journey and I was excited on what dishes would be served to the guests. When I saw the sign, Calle de Tapas, my stomach started doing cartwheels.

Ceviche. Tortilla. Vinegre. Broquerones. Bunuelos. My Spanish food and cooking terms have even expanded while munching on the Tapas spread. 

For this month's gastronomic spotlight, Cafe Marco's team of culinary experts was led by Cebu's authority on Spanish cuisine, Ms. Gema Pido. They will feature a variety of classic dishes from across the different regions of Spain. Well-loved Spanish food like Jamon Serrano, Paella, Fabadas, and Lengua Estofado will be available during the Lunch and Dinner Buffets from August 17 to 20.

During the opening of Sabores de España, the food highlight were the assorted tapas that Spain is known for. Filipinos should start learning how to prepare and eat these exquisite tapas. One way of celebrating our Spanish Heritage is through good food. 

Feast your eyes on my Tapas gallery and I'm proud to say that I ate and tasted all of that with lots of help from glasses of Red and White Sangrias.

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2. Ermingarde / Gardo Versoza = Gu...

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives ...

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

Gambar
C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma...
