Pigar-Pigar in Dagupan City

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

The Bangus Festival 2010 is fast approaching and surely, the people of Dagupan City are now excited for the said celebration. As a Dagupena who was born, raised and graduated in the area, I would like to share another food worth trying if you are in Dagupan City.

See, our city is known as the ‘Bangus Capital of the World’. Bangus (Milkfish) from Bonuan is said to be the most delicious milkfish in the World. I do agree with that claim. It is the main reason why the Bangus Festival exist.

But I won’t be discussing about Bangus or anything related to it anyway.

Pigar-Pigar in Dagupan City

One of the most in-demand food in Dagupan right now is the Pigar-Pigar. People from other towns usually go to Dagupan City just for this. Most pigar-pigar stalls are located at Galvan Street.

I do admit that when I was younger, I had a wrong impression about pigar-pigar. My dad used to eat with some of his friends, but my mom didn’t allow me to eat some. When I was in college, my classmates and co-workers invited me to eat dinner at Galvan once, until it became a once-in-a-month habit.

San Marino Corned Tuna – Try it!

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Three months ago, I saw some teasers of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera at GMA-7 where they are in the beach chasing each other and showing their love as if its their last day together on earth. The viewers originally thought that the two will reunite in a movie or in a certain tv show. It turned out that the two are the newest endorsers of San Marino Corned Tuna products.

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera in a new telenovela… NOT!

I am not a lover of Tuna products, but everything changed when I was invited at the bloggers launch of San Marino Corned Tuna last month. Not only am I impressed with their marketing strategy, but hey, the product is worth trying!

8 To Educate

Finally I’m back. I’ve been away from Patay Gutom for the past couple of weeks, to avoid conflict of interests, after PG got nominated for Bloggers’ Choice Award in the recently concluded Philippine Blog Awards 2009. For my coming back post, I won’t be doing a feat about fancy restaurants but instead, I’ll be telling you about the good news of what eating can do to help send poor children to school.
