If you want to know a country’s gastronomic culture, roam along its streets or visit its food markets and you’ll definitely find what you are looking for.
Passionate and experienced foodies knew this. If you want to taste a certain place’s best food, do not expect to find them at fanciest places. Instead, go to its street food destinations.
It’s affordable, convenient, and very tasty.
And when you talk about Asian street food, first on the list are the Pinoys. Who won’t love the barbecue, isaw (intestines from chicken), adidas (grilled chicken feet), kwek kwek (hard-boiled quail eggs), tokneneng (chicken or duck eggs), fish and squid balls.
That is why the students of the Institute of International Culinary and Hospitality Entrepreneurship’s (ICHEF) came up with the idea of bringing in all the street food of some of the Asian countries in one roof via the food festival dubbed “Cuisine de Marche.”
Cuisine de Marche is one of ICHEF’s most prestigious events and it’s certainly came a long way, evolving over the past years including the dishes introduced by its culinary students, from the traditional to the familiar dishes with a twist.
Cuisine de Marche 2023, which was held on March 17 to 18, 2023, attracted those who have a passion for eating and drinking at the parking area of Sans Hotel at Luxebridge in Maa, Davao City.
The festival, not only united foodies, but also offered dishes that were light and airy to their wallets.
Carrying the theme “Asian Street Food Festival,” food lovers were welcomed to the realm of Asian food that has the combination of salty, sweet, and spicy flavors of Indonesia, Malaysia, China, etc.
Apart from the Asian chow, the festival was also a destination for unlimited booze and entertainment.
