15th Kumbira Celebration

I am always a fan of cooking demos as yes I can call myself a frustrated chef.  I was walking around Limketkai Center last August 19 before the city fiesta and I had the chance to see the magnificent displays at the Atrium. I learned it was the last day of the 15th Kumbira Celebration- a culinary show and live competitions. Good thing I bought my camera that time so I took some photos of the great displays.

 

The Artistic Bread Showpiece designs (above photos) are those that depict objects or landscape that identifies Fiesta. While the Creative Cake Decorations ( photos below) aim to show the creativity, aesthetic balance and versatility that can go into decorating a cake.

Majestic Iligan City

After a few months of not having a permanent job, I went back to my hometown in Cagayan de Oro City or CdeO to visit my relatives. I also had a chance to visit Iligan City. Because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls, Iligan is a place in Lanao del Norte which is known as the City of Majestic Waterfalls. It wasn't my first time to go there as I used to stay at my aunt's place when I was still  in grade school during summer vacation. But I have not seen the place for a very long time.

There was no mall before and you can only find some popular shops round the corner when you go to the city center or what they call as 'ciudad'. However, the old buildings are still standing until today with lots of new business establishments around.

One of the most popular dining place in Iligan is Tita Fannies Liempo and Chicken Haus. I was able to taste their liempo upon my cousin's suggestion. It was one of a kind!

Wish I can go back there someday with my partner to see the Tinago falls or the Maria Cristina Falls in person. They all look stunning in pictures below..
