SM CITY BALIWAG LAUDS FLAVORS OF BULACAN WITH THE UNVEILING OF 16 FT DIA OKOY BILAO
A massive 16-foot-diameter okoy bilao highlighted the celebration of Bulacan’s rich culinary heritage during the launch of SM City Baliwag's “ Bestival Chef,” held in line with SM’s Foodie Festival campaign, on September 21. The team of Okoy King, a homegrown brand that serves original okoy recipes from the City of Baliwag , used at least 200 kilograms of shredded squash to create the giant okoy bilao . The unique attraction yielded 2,400 servings, which were given freely for shoppers to enjoy. Okoy , or crispy deep-fried fritters, is a popular dish in Bulacan, usually served as breakfast, appetizers, or snacks. While okoy evolves with different flavors over time, Bulakenyos continuously preserve its traditional recipe, making it a favorite cuisine among locals and tourists. “The largest serving of food is not just a celebration of the best flavors in the province but also a way of fostering patronization in our local products,” shares SM City Baliwag Mall Manager Rodora Tolentino.
