Love Taiwan Pork Holds Festival in Bonifacio Global City

The Taiwanese Pork Festival is back! Discover the Rich Flavors of Taiwanese Pork just in time for the holiday season. From September 6-9, 2024, the "Love Taiwan: Taiwanese Pork Festival 2024" will bring the vibrant culture and culinary excellence of Taiwan to Metro Manila. 

The first event started off at the BGC Amphitheater: a four-day celebration that brought together food lovers to experience the authentic taste of Taiwanese pork, celebrated globally for its quality and flavor.

The festival is inspired by Taiwan’s famous night markets, known for their bustling energy and delectable street food. At the "Love Taiwan" event, visitors sampled a wide variety of Taiwanese pork dishes, each prepared with premium pork that has been expertly raised and processed in Taiwan. Taiwanese pork is renowned for its tenderness and rich taste, thanks to the country’s commitment to high farming standards and sustainable practices.

This festival is sponsored by the Taiwan Ministry of Agriculture. Taiwanese pork is a staple in Taiwanese cuisine, used in a variety of traditional dishes such as Lu Rou Fan (braised pork rice) and Gua Bao (meatball and sausages). The festival features these classics alongside innovative new creations, giving visitors a chance to explore both familiar and novel flavors.

During the first event of the festival – the outdoor bazaar at the BGC Amphitheater – dishes and delicacies using Taiwanese pork will take center stage. Diners can expect beloved classics like Pork Rib Soup, Taiwanese Pork Sausage in various flavors, Pork Bone Soup, and Jinhua Ham; as well as new unique offers like Hot & Spicy Pork Trinity Soup, Champion Braised Pork Rice, Black Pepper Almond Crisp Pork Paper, Pork Floss & Jerky, BBQ Bacon Jerky, and even Filipino-style Braised Pork.

In addition to the culinary delights, the festival will offer a full cultural experience with traditional cultural performances, including a traditional dragon dance and live entertainment by Brazilian DJ and electronic music producer DJ Luane.

Ambassador Wallace Chow from Taipei Economic & Cultural Office in the Philippines, graced the festival and met with all the suppliers and brands in attendance and wished every Filipino to enjoy the Taiwanese pork products.  The festival was also welcomed by the Commerce Development Research Institute (CDRI), which highlighted the importance of Taiwanese pork in the global market.

The four-day outdoor bazaar from September 6-9 at the BGC Amphitheater was attended by eager foodies who can enjoy free tastings of different Taiwanese pork products as well as join daily raffles, games, and giveaways where they got a chance to win exciting prizes.
