The 2010 Kalibo Food Festival launched last June 18 at the Magsaysay Park with the Spanish theme "(Bienvenido) El Pueblo Kalibo, Vamos a Comer!" which roughly translates in English as "The Town of Kalibo, Please Come and Eat!" indicating that this year’s main food showcased have a Spanish or Mexican flavor.
At least two dishes with Spanish or Mexican flavors were prepared by participating establishments and made available inexpensively to diners from June 18 to June 23, 2010 while being serenaded by a live band. Food lovers or foodies (food connoisseurs) got a kick of the Spanish or Mexican dishes such as Imbutido, Calamares, Chicken Sarciado, Chicken Asado, Paella, Burito, Taco, and many more.
For those who want privacy and comfort, a VIP Lounge in the middle of the park set the mood for them for only 1,500 pesos where they and partners or family or friends dined and at the same time helped out the Kalibo Ati-Atihan Tourism Council’s fund raising efforts. 500 Pesos will go to the council’s funds for the rentals of tables, chairs and hiring of waiters and stall supervisors. The 1,000 Pesos is consumable of food and drinks on any of the stalls in the park. Tickets for the VIP Lounge was available at the gate.
Edwin Trompeta, Department of Tourism’s Regional Director, served as guest speaker during the opening of the Food Festival on June 18. /MP
