It's More Fun in Kebabers!



Wazzup Pilipinas!

I first learned about kebabs when I won a grill ideally designed for cooking kebabs at a company sponsored event. The grill had a pair of long shiny metal skewers. Skewers are thin metal (or wood sticks) used to hold pieces of food together. They are used while grilling or roasting meats, and in other culinary applications. More or like similar to what is used for barbecues.

According to Wikipedia, kebabs are a wide variety of skewered meals found worldwide that originated in the Middle East, and later were adopted in the Balkans, the Caucasus, other parts of Europe, as well as Central and South Asia. In English, kebab with no qualification generally refers more specifically to shish kebab cooked on a skewer. In the Middle East, however, kebab refers to meat that is cooked over or next to flames; large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat; it may be served on plates, in sandwiches, or in bowls.

As what their Facebook page says, Kebabers is considered to be the first Kebab fast-food in the Philippines. It is the only Persian Fastfood Restaurant that serves affordable yet quality Middle Eastern cuisine with a twist of Filipino taste.

You've got to try out their variety of kebab dishes all created for a pleasurable dining experience.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is very much involved in promoting Eid'l Fitr celebrations in the Philippines as another tourist attraction in the Philippines.

Events promoting Eid'l Fitr festivities are lined up at the Atrium of The Block at SM City North EDSA until August 18 to highlight the amazing culture and crafts of our Muslim brothers.

A mini-exhibit started the celebrations at the Podium in Ortigas Center last August 2 to 8 and then August 9 began the opening of the Eid'l Fitr Festival to greet everyone Eid Mubarak.

The Eid'l Fitr Festival is organized by the Magbassa Kita Foundation led by it's chairperson, former Senator Santaniuna Rasul is featuring a variety of activities from country displays by the different Islamic embassies in the country; institutional exhibits by LGUs, government agencies, and donor agencies working on peace and development initiatives; trade fair products from Mindanao; fashion exhibit on traditional Muslim attires; interactive Salam villages; and cultural presentations.

The sights, sounds and even the food during the opening of the festivities was remarkably fascinating. Do check out the details of the event from my previous blog:

Gilas Pilipinas : Silver Medal Awardee in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championships



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Statement of Secretary Edwin Lacierda on Gilas Pilipinas’ silver medal finish in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championships:

"The Aquino administration joins the Filipino people in congratulating Gilas Pilipinas for winning the silver medal in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championships—and with it, a ticket to the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain.

This victory is the culmination of years of hard work, belief, and perseverance from our players and their families, from our coaching staff, from the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas led by Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan, and, most of all, from the entire Filipino nation, who has always stood behind the national team through their struggles and triumphs.

In unison, the nation urged our team forward, and with consummate “puso,” they laid everything on the line for flag and country. Gilas Pilipinas has shown the world that no one can outsize the heart of the Filipino. May their performance inspire every Filipino to relentlessly pursue excellence, no matter what field they find themselves in, so that, together, we may fulfill our shared aspiration of a Philippine nation greater than ever before."
