13TH ADOBO FESTIVAL AND 5TH MUSCOVADO COOKING CONTEST

NEGROS MUSEUM
13th Adobo Festival and
5th Muscovado Cooking Competition
at the Balay Negrense Museum
City of Silay, Negros Island, Philippines
5 November 2010     9am - 2pm





Dear FRIENDS,

For the past 12 years, Negrense food enthusiasts have gathered together at the Balay Negrense Museum every 5th of November to share a gustatory experience in line with our observance of the Cinco de Noviembre Celebration in Silay City . 

The Adobo Festival which features an Adobo Cooking Competition has been a testimony of our mark as Filipinos – adobo being a dish prepared by our ancestors long before the Chinese traders came to the Philippines and the Spaniards colonized us.

Now on our 13th year, the Negros Cultural Foundation once again brings together culinary experts, cooking aficionados and budding chefs to challenge to come up with new tastes for this tried and tested Filipino dish.  To add to the excitement, we also celebrate the 5th year of the Muscovado cooking competition which has produced a rich harvest of recipes using muscovado sugar as main ingredient.

The Adobo Festival also features Gourmet Adobo demo by local chefs and Negrense restaurateurs, food booths, and Negrense artists’ KITCHEN ART EXHIBIT featuring artworks priced from P5 to P5,000.00.

You can also enjoy the ADOBO LUNCH which will be served from 11AM to 1PM only. Tickets at P200.00 per person (consumable) are available at the Negros Museum starting November 3 and in Balay Negrense during the event.

We hope you can be a part of this year’s adobo festival and bring your family and friends with you. Please feel free to email us at negros_museum96@yahoo.com or call 09173007742 or 4334764. Thank you very much!

Magkilit-anay

ADOBO FESTIVAL 2010!
