During the Pasinaya, Mama
Sita’s, known for creating recipes and reinventing old, traditional treats into
new, exciting culinary delights, did a live cooking demonstration which was held,
from 9:30 to 10:00 AM, as part of the Palihan Program which highlights various
art and cultural disciplines through interactive open-house sessions. The
cooking demonstration featured two iconic and well-loved Filipino dishes - pansit palabok (a savory shrimp-based
noodle dish) and bibingkrep (a modern
twist on the classic bibingka).
