Unilever launches Funlasang Pinoy 2

With the aim of inspiring chefs and cooks nationwide to keep putting an exciting twist on classic Pinoy dishes, FunlasangPinoy is a culinary competition initiated by Unilever Food Solutions (UFS) Philippines and Knorr®.

Now on its second year, Funlasang Pinoy returns grander as the competition goes nationwide.

For 2018, FunlasangPinoy is not only in search for one, but three of the country’s most talented chefs who will reinvent classic Pinoy favorites’ crispy pata, adobo, karekare, bulalo, and sisig.

Instead of a sole winner and one national cook-off, one winner will each be hailed from the competition’s Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao legs set to happen within July to August this year.

Filipino cooks and chefs from across the country may join the competition. The challenge is for them to create delicious and innovative recipes of the classic crispy pata, adobo, kare-kare, bulalo, and sisig using Knorr® products.

Interested participants may submit their entries to the UFS website, www.unileverfoodsolutions.com.ph, until June 30, 2018.

Submitted dishes will be judged according to the following criteria: creativity of the twist, food presentation, and the use of Knorr® products in the recipe.

On July 15, the top 10 finalists per region will be announced and the on-ground cook-offs will happen in July for Luzon and in August for Visayas and Mindanao.

The three winners will each get to take home P100,000 cash prize and the chance to become part of the UFS Chefmanship Academy Program.

“Funlasang Pinoy is more than just a culinary competition; it is about providing a platform for Filipino chefs and cooks nationwide to showcase their talents and at the same time be given the recognition that they very much deserve,” said James Benedict Carreon, managing director of UFS Philippines.
