Actor-chef Marvin Agustin likes to keep things memorable during the Yuletide season. For starters, he takes time off from his hectic schedule and shies away from the camera to be with his family and loved ones. With TV shows and his string of restaurants keeping him occupied, Marvin sees to it that the people he cares for get his undivided attention during the most wonderful time of the year.
“It’s been a tradition in our family to get-together for the holidays,” Marvin shares. “We all look forward to our family reunion on Christmas day.”
Marvin further says that excitement is thick in the air during their annual holiday feast. And amidst the animated conversations and endless laughter, food remains the centrepiece of the occasion and becomes an extension of how they share their blessings with each other.
Like most Filipino families, Marvin and his relatives get their fill of all-time favorite Christmas fares such as arroz valenciana, lumpia, chicken galantina and lechon. But being a creative chef and restaurateur that he is, Marvin makes sure that he goes the extra mile to offer something different yet definitely familiar to the Filipino palate. He uses leftover lechon as the main ingredient in making the classic sinigang.
Marvin observes that sinigang often takes a back seat during the holiday merriment when it can be a staple in an all-Pinoy Christmas feast. A steaming serving of the tamarind-base soup is more than enough to warm the heart and tummy especially during the cool evenings. And to make the preparation less taxing, Knorr Sinigang is on hand to bring out the rich sinigang flavor in a convenient way.
With Knorr Sinigang sa Sampalok Mix, there is no need to go through the hassles of preparing real tamarind to bring out the goodness of sinigang. It is made from real sampalok and available in convenient sachet packs. It is best mixed with pork or seafood together with gabi and other vegetables.
“Everyone loves sinigang. We all grew up with it, and with a little creativity and a little help from Knorr Sinigang, you can have a winning dish for the holiday season,” Marvin concludes.
See how Knorr surprised our OFWs this Christmas season!
