Marks & Spencer is not just a popular brand for fashion lovers but it is making its way to our kitchen as a familiar label to our food and snacks. If you are not too familiar with M&S product lines, the food fair last September 29 (Sunday) at the Eastwood Mall Atrium introduced the wide variety of food products being carried by the M&S brand.
M&S offers biscuits, chocolates, groceries, frozen food, wines, tea & coffee, and savory snacks. The prices are made affordable for the middle-class and working Filipinos who also crave for some gourmet meal and imported snacks.
It was truly awesome to join Marks & Spencer on that extravagant food fair with fellow bloggers, the press, and some guests. I was munching and drinking whatever was laid on the table. I started with a cup of coffee and pastries at around 2pm. Then, it seems the food was just overflowing. They served confectioneries, and then biscuits and tea later. The sweet treats gave me that extra energy boost I needed.
The beautiful and bubbly Sam Oh hosted the cooking demo by Chef Luigi Muhlach. Chef Luigi used M&S ingredients to cook various dishes. He cooked crab cakes, ham sandwich, duck spring rolls, creamy pomodoro, vegetable curry and bagoong rice, and mango cheesecake. I will be posting the recipe in the second part of this blog entry. My fave was the duck spring rolls and the creamy pomodoro.
After the cooking demo, wine connoisseur Chie Gatchalian cheerfully discussed about wine pairing.
Wine drinking or pairing is not really a common household thing here in the Philippines. Being an expert, Chie advocates that food be paired with the right wine. Pairing your food with wine that overpowers it can break the entire meal.
I enjoyed the M&S Food Fair. I love the food. Two thumbs up guys. Thanks Nuffnang for inviting me.

Is this the first time they introduce M&S food in PI? Looks like everybody had fun, i heard that M&S brands are very expensive in the philippines, kaya pag nag papa package ako, nagpapadala ako ng mga M&S brands kasi mas mura dito, lalo na mga underwear...
ReplyDeleteM&S food products are not well-publicized. The food fair sort of re-introduce their products to the market but this time with its new lower prices. Parang high-end brand kasi ung M&S kaya many people especially ung mga naka tipid-mode shy away from entering their stores :D
