Street food defines a country\u2019s culture and history. It connects with the masses, and represents what the average person eats on a daily basis. No other event highlights this better than the World Street Food Congress<\/strong>, happening from today till Sunday, April 24.<\/span><\/p>\n

PREPARE FOR LONG yet oh-so-worth-it lines.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in BGC during the 5-day food extravaganza, here are 5 plus 1<\/strong> things you should not miss:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_5875_edited-watermarked\"<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Pepita\u2019s Kitchen\u2019s Spicy Paella Lechon<\/em>.<\/strong> Dubbed as the Lechon Queen, Pepita\u2019s Kitchen definitely came to the event prepared with their specialty: the Spicy Paella Lechon. It may not be served on elaborate plates, but the suckling pig on display should be enticing enough for anyone who loves pork.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Keng Eng Kee Seafood\u2019s Seafood Tempura with 3 Singapore flavored dip<\/em>.<\/strong> It\u2019s a medly of deep-fried seafood covered in tempura batter with 3 dips you can only find in Singapore. What\u2019s not to like?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_5845_edited<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Sunset Warung Bali\u2019s Bali BBQ Ribs.<\/em> <\/strong>Barbecued ribs are already a rare site in the Philippines (unless you frequently visit places like Vikings or Gerry\u2019s Grill). Getting a serving of these delicious ribs on the streets of BGC? Highly unlikely. That\u2019s why they\u2019re a must try.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Top: Grilled Lonngganisang Lucban, Sugar Glazed Squash Pilipit and Suman Sa Lihiya, Cassava Chips and Kiping Chips with Chili con Longganisa; Bottom: Sinuglaw and Satti from Mindanao<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Every Filipino food stall apart from Pepita\u2019s. <\/em><\/strong>A little bit biased? Maybe. But these food stalls are definitely something you should not miss. They have your Filipino street food craving covered from North Luzon all the way to Mindanao with 5 stalls worth of Filipino goodness.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Churros Locos\u2019 Churros Sundae.<\/em> <\/strong>Flying all the way from the United States, Churros Locos\u2019 Churros Sundae <\/em>is the perfect way to end your day at the World Street Food Congress. Churros + sundae? Sounds like a winner to anyone who loves desserts!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

PLUS:<\/span><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Street Food Demos.<\/strong> <\/em>There\u2019s a different presenter every day for the next five days, including one from the man who made all of this possible, KF Seetoh.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All stalls will definitely take you to street food heaven with so many flavors to enjoy, so there\u2019s no reason for you to limit yourself to the stalls we\u2019ve mentioned here. There\u2019s authentic Penang Laksa, Braised Zhu Zhou Chicken <\/em>made the way you\u2019d have it in China, as well as a whole host of other street food that you\u2019d associate with a certain country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and did we mention forget live musical performances from Up Dharma Down and DJ Nina Saputil?<\/span><\/p>\n
