Eat Drink MNL Food & Events Festival
From the name of the event alone, one could expect a sumptuous feast Cravings style. Three big buffet tables offered a variety of local delicacies, each representing the three main islands of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
The Luzon table served some of the region's best-loved cuisine, including hamonado longganiza, salted egg and tomatoes topped with caramelized onions, buko pie, and chocolate truffles. Of these, the buko pie was to die for!

On the Visayan table, the guests were treated with the Cochinilla Cebuano, which offered boneless chicken inasal skewer with pearl onion and cherry tomato, bam-i guisado, dried mango mousse tartlets, and suman at latik spoons.
The Visayas buffet table
Finally, it was seafood galore on the Mindanao table. On top of the menu was tuna kinilaw on a bed of suha, coconut shrimp on aligue rice, beef satti shawarma, and for desserts I could not get enough of- maja mais mousse and durian creme brulee.

It was an evening that celebrated the new Filipino, one who beats all odds to achieve his or her dreams. And what's a more fitting way to do this than to honor nine young Filipinos who are making a mark in their respective fields. Hence, the Annie awards was born. The ANNIES was named after Susana "Annie" Guerrero, the first Filipina to be awarded as a certified Culinary Professional by the IACP.
The Annies awardees were: Jason Magbanua, videographer; Oly Ruiz, photographer; Hindy Tantoco, creative designer and eco warrior; Lovi Poe, actress; Tim Yap, eventologist; Elmo Magalona, singer/actor; Vince Golangco, When in Manila founder and DJ, and Jowee Alviar and Mon Punzalan, Team Manila founders.
