Fiesta at San Isidro, San Luis, Pampanga

I was very fortunate to attend a barangay fiesta at San Isidro, San Luis, Pampanga last May 15, 2015. Our photography friend who married a Kapampangan invited us to their barangay fiesta.

The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation (FPPF) designated the Pulilan Kneeling Carabao Festival as one of the 4 OTS this year. We decided to shoot this festival on the 15^th so that we could also attend the fiesta at San Isidro, San Luis, Pampanga.

It was a very festive day at San Isidro. Almost all houses along the road had visitors. We visited two houses and unfortunately, I forgot to take picture of the foods at the 2^nd house. There were a lot of dishes – including the famous Burong Isda. There were also a lot of desserts including Mangoes, Halayang Ube, Tiramisu, Suman, Maja Blanca, etc.

We had lunch and dinner at San Isidro and before we left, we witnessed a procession of the barangay’s several saint, including St Isidore the Laborer – patron saint of farmers, St Agustin, St Monica, among others. It’s truly remarkable that this town maintained the traditional Filipino fiesta.

Pigar-Pigar and Kaleskes

“Eat what the locals eat” said my photography friend Darwin, when I visited Dagupan City for the first time, during the Gilon Gilon ed Baley last April 17, 2015. It’s the opening ceremony of the Bangus Festival 2015 in Dagupan which last until May 2015.

There was a food fest beside the City Museum and we tried Uson’s Pigar-Pigar and Kaleskes. Pigar-Pigar is fried beef with vegetables while Kaleskes is stewed beef intestine with green chili. I’m not fond of eating vials of internal organs, so I passed eating Kaleskes. I did tasted the “sabaw” and it taste a bit chili.

I liked the Pigar-Pigar, since I love eating beef. It’s like fried beef meet Chopsuey with the vegetables. I’ll definitely eat this again when I’m in Dagupan City.

Lei’s Pork Chop

During our most recent team building at Maryland Beach Resort in Nasugbu, Batangas, my team mates (Lei, and the rest) along with my team leader (TL) cooked a lot of food for dinner, lunch and breakfast. The typical team building foods – hotdogs, fried eggs, sopas, adobo, corn kernel, pork chop, etc.

I was so hungry I totally forgot to take pictures of the foods. This is the lone picture I was able to take – a reminder how Lei, my TL and the rest of my team mates, are good at cooking.

Christmas Party at Valenzuela Pavilion

Our high school class at Mariano Ponce High School (MPHS) in Baliuag, Bulacan, has been celebrating our yearly Christmas Party at Valenzuela Pavilion. It’s an events venue located in Doña Enriqueta Subdivision, Baliuag, Bulacan. I believe it’s closely related to Gloria Romero’s Restaurant and Catering Services, a prominent establishment in Baliuag, Bulacan.

This year, we’ll be celebrating our 20^th year Grand Reunion at Valenzuela Pavilion and we’re now on the process wherein we’re selecting the foods that we’re going to consume on this momentous event. I reviewed my past pictures of the foods that we ate on those Christmas parties and was able to retrieve these:

Dads Saisaki Kamayan SM Megamall

My aunt and godmother, Auntie Lita, went back to the country for a short vacation. On her despedida (farewell) party, she treated us at Dads Saisaki Kamayan in SM Megamall.

It was a good venue to practice my food photography a.k.a. food porn. The foods were amazing and the package that she got was the international – so we got to taste all the food available. I skipped the sushi though.

Here are some of the food I’ve eaten. I’ll post more pictures soon. I realized that I’m really into Italian, American and Filipino food – not much into Asian, Japanese or Chinese food.

Thank you Auntie Lita for the treat!
