Piolo Pascual for lunch!

Century has just launched another addition to the line of their products: BANGUS! Internationally known as milkfish, it will now be available to the Philippine market in a vacuum-sealed pack, thanks to Century.

Century held a press conference for this special product of theirs, as the endorser of Century Bangus is special as well. Why, you ask? OMG I am giddy as I type this! If for their tuna variant their endorsers are Angel Locsin and Derek Ramsay (insert swoons and gasps here), their bangus variant dons.... PIOLO PASCUAL! Holy Moo. :))

The presscon was held at Enderun, this shala culinary school at Fort. It was quaint, but extraordinary in architecture. From the outside, it looks like the dorm school from the cartoon Madeline. If I was studying here, I would have loved to go to school everyday. Their interiors inspire me so much!

When we got inside the main building (I suppose), press people were swarming over drinks, and fussing over their presskits. We were directed to the second floor for the main event. Inside the room was a big kitchen set-up with about 50 seats facing it. We were the last ones to get in so we were lucky enough to stay in front.

Guess who was there?? The yaya from KimmyDora! I lurrrve that movie!

China Cojuangco was the host of the event. After starting with a warm greeting, she introduced the new TVC of Century Bangus, followed with the moment that everyone was waiting for...

Yes, Piolo Pascual in the flesh, sweet face, and muscular body! He was there to demonstrate how to cook his favorite dish, Century Bangus ala Aglio Olio with Chef Hearty.

They started preparing the ingredients for the dish. They brought out olive oil, freshly chopped tomatoes, butter, pepper, cilantro, and of course, Century Premium Marinated Bangus Belly.

I got hungry halfway through the cooking process, because the dish had a yummy smell! I'm a big fan of fish and pasta, so seeing hot Papa P and Chef Hearty making the scrumptious Aglio Olio was so tempting. After a few flips, the pasta was ready for presentation.

Isn't it beautiful? I promised myself when I get home, I'm making something like that for mi chico.

Guess who was also there during the presscon!

It was so nice to see and meet a lot of people! They were really nice! Hope I get to bump into them again soon. :)

As for the final hurrah, we headed to the biggest hall of the campus for the big meal. There were tables everywhere, with a long buffet table at the center. The food was overflowing with bangus! They served a lot of bangus variants- Tocino, breaded, bruschetta, seared, and whatnot! I srsly got full from all the fish I ate. I personally liked the bruschetta and Bangus sauteed with cilantro and tomatoes with garlic rice. Definitely yummo!
