For kids, they will love the Quorn nuggets and they will not be able to tell it’s not meat. I suggest you air fry it instead of frying in oil. It’s available now in Rustan’s @rustansfresh Shopwise @shopwise_ph and major supermarkets #Quorn #quornrecipes #h2hhealthyproducts #h2hrecipes #MondeNissin

October Beer Festival at City of Dreams Manila

By Heart2Heart | Foodie | No Comments

CITY OF DREAMS MANILA HOLDS
A ROCKIN’ OCTOBER BEER FESTIVAL
AT THE GRAND BALLROOM

It’s all about overflowing beer, authentic German delicacies, rollicking fun with friends, and rock bands during the third annual October Beer Festival at the Grand Ballroom of luxury integrated resort City of Dreams Manila on October 12 and 13, 7pm to 11pm.

Originally, the Oktoberfest is a celebration in honor of the wedding between Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen in October 1810, which became an annual German festivity. Nowadays, it has evolved to a global event with some countries adopting the merriment with a flair for local entertainment and culture.

In Manila’s various establishments including City of Dreams, it is customary for modern revelers to raise their beer glasses and partake of hearty fare while they enjoy live entertainment. For this year’s October Beer Festival, OPM pop band True Faith is set to perform their classic 90’s hits with Part 3 Band and Eye Candies on October 12. Popular rock band Parokya ni Edgar brings the house down with their crowd-pleasing rock ballads on October 13. Gloc 9 and Eye Candies will also perform on the second night. Exciting raffle prizes and beer games complete the Oktoberfest.

Guests can immerse in the annual German Oktoberfest in the festive ambiance of City of Dreams Manila’s grand ballroom complete with colorful buntings, long wooden tables and benches; and indulge in a variety of beers such as Weihenstephaner from the oldest brewery in Germany and the world, Sapporo from Japan, Heineken from Netherlands and local beers San Miguel Pale Pilsen, San Miguel Light, and craft beer Pedro. Sodas and iced tea are also available. This assortment of beers and beverages complements the German gastronomic fare.

The Bavarian-style buffet indulges meat lovers with a live carving station of Spanferkel (roasted suckling pig), Schweinerollbraten in Biersoße mit gefülltem Wirsing (pork roll in beer sauce with stuffed savoy cabbage), Brathendl (German-style roast chicken), Grillhaxe (roast pork knuckle), Fleischkase (German meatloaf), and Bagger mit Apfelmus (potato pancakes with apple puree) with accompaniments of Bratkartoffein (sautéed potatoes with bacon and onions), Sauerkraut (braised white Cabbage), Rotkohl (braised red cabbage) and Kase Spatzle (handmade noodle drops with caramelized onions and cheese).

Make sure you try the Okonomiyaki at @teppanokochi because that is the real specialty of Mangetsu Osaka. The owner Daniel Labudahon @daniellabudahonii used to cook and sell okonomiyaki which started his quest to Osaka to meet Chef Okochi who was referred by a friend #teppanokochi #teppanokochibymangetsuosaka #okonomiyaki Chef Okochi served us a Heart2Heart course 🙂
