Big Bite: The Northern Food Festival 2015

Travel to the north side of Luzon and experience a grand of food festival at the 3rd annual Big Bite: Northern Food Festival at the parking lot area of Marquee Mall in Angeles, Pampanga. The food fest will bring 100 kinds of food concepts from the Northern Luzon region this Oct 16-18, 2015. Entrance is FREE and also take a time to over indulge yourself with the yummy “sisig” at the event, because that’s the main specialty in Pampanga and it’s a must have, must eat and never leave town without a single bite of sisig.

Yesterday at the opening day, Big Bite showcased three kinds of “sisig” that was cooked in different way – in Pampanga, we have the traditional pork sisig cooked by Chef Sau del Rosario, for Pangasinan there’s the Bangus sisig cooked by Danilo Maramba , and for Ilocos kind of sisig, Chef Jackie dela Cruz cooked a dinakdakan sisig.

It was a Sisig Festival yesterday, but my heart goes to the traditional sisig because it’s the kind of sisig I always eat during my youngling days.

Im kinda sad that I forgot to buy a set of their empanada…

I always buy 5 pcs of empanada and I store it in our freezer. The empanada doesn’t get spoiled easily when inside the freezer.

I just reheat it in our oven if ever I want to bite this for my merienda or breakfast.
