And
we’re off! Negros Season of Culture takes you on a tour. This March, www.negrosseasonofculture.com launches
a series of virtual tours spread throughout 2022. We begin with food. In Bacolod Coffee & Sweets, food and
travel vlogger Debbie Oca stops at seven pastry and coffee shops in the city. This
enterprise, run mostly by millennials (and elder millennials), requires innovation
and daring-do, qualities needed to rebuild communities post-lockdown.
We
sifted through candidate shops using meaningful criteria. First off, we limited
our picks to local brands. And not just local, but relatively new in the scene.
In fact, our final choices were opened either just before the lockdown or
during the lockdown. This way, the story narrates a continuum of experiences,
from struggle to success, to sustainability. Finally, each pastry and coffee shop
must bring a uniqueness to the table, and indeed, there’s nothing similar
between any two of the seven. No enterprise with foresight can remain generic.
It must be differentiated.
The
vlog accomplishes a second goal. It also begins a robust and extensive coverage
of food that followers of NSC enjoyed in 2021 and will continue to delight in
in 2022.
The
“merienda culture” of Filipinos pervades all social classes and eras. And in
Negros where sugar is everyone’s middle name, merienda fare can easily become a
feast. And so, the piaya is just icing on the cake. The breadth and depth of
Negrense delicacies, both sweet and savory, parallels the Negrense’s
imagination to create new ones and tweak the old.
Local manuglibod, Maricar, replenishes her basket daily with an array of native delicacies from Silay Public Market
In
March we feature the manuglibod, the
traditional itinerant vendor of heritage snacks. In time, her fashion has
evolved, from wearing a patadyong and
kimona, and balancing a round native
tray on her head, to today’s jeans and white cotton shirt, and toting updated bayongs. Because the time calls for it,
our modern manuglibod now wears a
face mask, too. From morning till the last native snack, she moves about,
knocking door-to-door, showing up at the appointed hour, almost without fail.
Butong-Butong is a local candy made from muscovado that is among the many products of Negros Occidental.
Finally,
what’s a buffet without a take-home? What’s a food edition without a video
instructional to try out? Here’s your takeaway for March. This classic, even
nostalgic Negrense candy is a top seller. The sweet delight takes baby-boomers
back to fun school days with sticky fingers, sticky lips, and sticky school
uniform sleeves. Negros Season of Culture dares all, let’s get cooking with Butong-Butong.
It's a sweet and savoury time as guest vlogger Debbie Oca takes us on a pastry and café crawl across seven new spots in Bacolod.
