 “It rained, but that did not dampened the festival’s Filipino spirit, said Mr Ramos, a former Auckland resident Mr Ramos, who runs his own restaurant Angelee’s in Blacktown.

Northern island of Tauranga is the fifth largest urban area in New Zealand and the most populous city in the Bay of Plenty coastal region.

 “We had a chance to participate in the taco shell-making, which gave me ideas for my pinakbet or bakareta salad servings.

“Among many New Zealand products, I love their Anchor milk, its pure cow’s freshness and creaminess, an ideal component and a healthy cooking ingredient.”

The chefs further first visited Wanganui, a scenic region along the Tasman Sea end of the wild and wonderful Whanganui River.  They explored the area’s local universities, heritage buildings, and  sidetracked to the local  Lemon & Paeroa (L&P)for a taste of the L & P softdrink, L & P chocolates and Anchor milk products.

They completed the visit at the summit of an inactive volcano background crater of Mt Eden.
