my fully charged camera,my registration sticker and my appetite that even the heavy downpour of rain can not dampen.
Upon entrance,I was greeted by a huge Chinese welcome banner
with a glassed waterfall in the middle. I took photo after photo of each cake
entries at the Cake Display Exhibition, making use of the “It’s more fun in the
Philippines” theme. Creativity and patience on each cake shines thru. I felt proud
for the Filipino pastry chefs who rendered a sweet interpretation of our nationalism. Other cakes were
themed after the Chinese New Year Animals. Which looked more meticulous to
prepare but equally colorful. The atmosphere was festive, because there were
lots of food sampling , free giveaways and free baking lessons. I get attracted by the sweet smell of newly baked breads
and pastries. I learned so many new things in just half of my day there. I
bought a small wooden rolling pin and two sets of ceramic serving dishes for
just 100 pesos. Most of the famous brands offered their products with special discounts
for that event.Coffee was free flowing.
I found the Gardenia booth as the most informative, colorful
and offered lots of freebies. They gave free nutrition counselling, Bread Sampling and Bread Selling. I had the Cranberry Wheat Loaf, same with Dates and Walnuts loaf slices (the best!) , there was a walk-in tour about how Gardenia Breads started and came into it’s own recognition.I learned that their factory is fully automated and computer controlled,untouched by human hands.The factory has the largest, most advanced and large scale bread manufacturing facility located in LIIP, Binan, Laguna. Free group tours can be arranged to visit their plant.
It's always been my brand of choice when it comes to wheat bread and pandesal, because I am assured of its quality fresh breads everyday. I know that each time I buy a pack of Gardenia Bread, I also get great nutrition and good value for my money. Here is one of the recipes I made using Gardenia High Fiber Whole Wheat Bread, Cheesy Tuna Wheat Rolls, It is my wrapped bread roll version but not deep fried like the usual version we know of. Another way to enjoy fish meat in this season of Lent.

Ingredients:
1 can tuna flakes in vegetable oil,drained.
200 gms, mayonnaise
100 gms cheese- grated
1 red onion, finely chopped
chopped celery
grated carrots
salt and pepper
1 tsp. sugar
400 gms, Gardenia High Fiber
Whole Wheat bread, flattened.
10 pieces fresh lettuce leaves
Procedure:
Make Tuna Spread by mixing first 8 ingredients.
flatten wheat bread in flat surface with a
rolling pin. Don't cut out the edges because it's loaded with protein.
Place Tuna Spread on wheat bread, lay lettuce leaf on top and spread another
layer
of tuna spread on the lettuce. Roll, and cut into rings once served.
A little trivia, Gardenia was the first to use the G-lock on its packaging. The G-lock, is a small powerful clip that seals in the breads freshness.
Had so much fun on this event, Thanks Gardenia!
