Victorias Foods brings "A Taste of Negros" home

Since the 70s, Victorias Foods Corporation (VFC) has been one of the most loved and more successful food companies.  Among the group’s founding and more successful products are their Spanish Style Bangus and Sardines in Soya Oil. 

Created from a heritage recipe born in a Negrense kitchen and cherished through generations, these premier products use only sardines caught from the fishing grounds of the Visayan Sea and milkfish farmed in the fish pens of Bacolod, where the brackish water is perfect for raising the finest quality bangus.


Swimming in rich soya oil, the delicious edibles are also wonderfully healthy and mouthwatering whether enjoyed on their own or as a key ingredient in a dish. 

Further demonstrating VFC’s loyalty to the region where it has its origins, as well as their promise to using only quality ingredients, most of what goes into Victorias Foods Spanish Style Bangus and Sardines in Soya Oil are sourced in the Visayas, bringing those real Ilonggo flavors to Filipino homes. 


Negros is known for its food culture – from its chicken inasal, piaya, local sweets like Napoleones to its fresh seafood. With the A Taste of Negros campaign, VFC not only pays homage to its origin but also reminds everyone that it is a brand from Negros. And along with all the iconic Negrense delicacies, VFC is that delightful Negresnse ingredient to help elevate any homecooked meal.  





Partnering with Chef Tope Arañador of PUNOT Restaurant, a young and contemporary Ilonggo chef, VFC created 15 recipes using Victorias Foods Spanish Style Bangus and Sardines in Soya Oil.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube...

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth. Here's a recipe guide for a simple Pochero Ilonggo
