Australia, at least for Filipinos, is known for one of two things when it comes to food: beef and wine. We got a full taste of what you can do if you\u2019ve got access to good <\/span>Aussie beef<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) is bringing Filipinos something different: fresh produce under the name <\/span>Taste Australia. <\/b>and they\u2019re starting with Australian grapes, the key ingredient in world-class wines from Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"There are Aussie grapes in this photo, and it’s not just in the glass. The kilawin or Filipino ceviche gets revamped with red Aussie grapes instead of red chili.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Australian grapes are already a popular choice in Southeast Asian countries. The Red Globe, in particular, is a favorite because the individual berries are quite big, round, and come in large, conical, and well-filled bunches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"BEFORE THE COOK-UP. Australian\u00a0Ambassador Gorely’s personal chef, Chef Edwin (center) and Chef Dave of Bondi & Burke talk about integrating Australian grapes in their demo dishes.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"MAHI-MAHI KILAWIN. Chef Dave chose mahi-mahi or common dolphinfish for his kilawin.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"BLUE MARLIN KILAWIN. Chef Edwin, on the other hand, chose blue marlin for his kilawin.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Media and traders were treated to a taste of Australian grapes when the campaign was launched last March 22 at the Australian Ambassador\u2019s residence in Makati City. On the menu that night was <\/span>kilawin,<\/span><\/i> the Filipino version of ceviche, a meat pie, and steak \u2014 all given a twist using Australian grapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taste Australia is an initiative developed by Horticulture Innovation Australia to promote premium Australian produce overseas. Developed through a consultation with different horticulture industries (including Horticulture Innovation Australia), Taste Australia looks to give countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the UAE a taste of fresh produce from Australia\u2019s farms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect a deluge of Aussie grapes this April as Taste Australia will be introducing one of Australia\u2019s best exports in major supermarkets like Rustan\u2019s, Shopwise, S&R, and SM Supermarket.<\/span><\/p>\n
