SM Hypermarket Supersized Cook-Off Batangas

 

I am privileged  to be invited in a recently held Supersized Cook-off held in Hypermarket Batangas. With the theme, Batangas Bulalo Best Tasting and Most Number of Serving, I knew from the start that it will be a festival of bulalo dish.

Batangas has been known with its most delicious Bulalo recipe because of the province quality of cattle.

It was very timely since the weather starts to get colder and all of us wants something hot yet flavorful. I haven’t had Bulalo for quite sometime, this dish needs extra time for preparation and cooking and at home nobody have time to cook bulalo. So when I received the invite, I didn’t think twice.
