Tilapia Festival at LAUREL BATANGAS: Masterchef Competition


I did not know that Tilapia can be cooked in so many ways till I went to Laurel Batangas.

Laurel, officially the Municipality of Laurel, is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 39,444 people. Laurel had been part of Talisay, its current neighbor town. The town used to be known as Bayuyungan.



I was invited to witness their very popular Tilapia Festival by having a lot of activities. One of the activities that I participated as a judge was the MASTER CHEF COMPETITION. The contest had 2 divisions; the junior division and the senior division.













The junior division was participated by the high school students and the senior division consist of chefs from different restaurants around the area.

All of them should present their 3 different dishes. Pasta dish, Asian dish and Creative dish.

It was just so amazing tasting a lot of dishes by only using the main ingredient which the tilapia fish. It was difficult to decided who's the best because it was my first time tasting a lot of dishes of Tilapia. Now, let's check the photos and be amazed with their talent in cooking.





















This event was part of the Laurel 50th Foundation Anniversary. Below are other activitoes that made it fun and exciting.





Indeed, Tilapia Festival is something we can look forward to each year as people not only from Batangas will have a lot if things that they could look forward to. Till next year Laurel Batangas!
