More 10-minute kitchen wonders in Quickfire

MANILA, Philippines - Wok Around the Philippines, the new season of GMA News TV 11’s Quickfire, continues its journey this week in Cebu, Albay and Bohol to present a number of Quickfire foodies and their very own 10-minute kitchen wonders.

Featured Quickfire foodies from Albay consist of Vivian Cimanes, Ivan Ricafranca, Loyda Villena, Jomel Macinas and Janet Magayanes. In Bohol, viewers should watch out the recipes created by Eric Ferolino, Herbert Flores, Maricel Poliran, Adela Gordoncillo-Stroud, Chuck Lim and Neshell Ian Anto. Giving pride to Cebu City for their culinary creativity are Buddy Amodia Jr., Marybeth Chan, Janzhell Abellana, Jennifer Pepito, Josephine del Rosario and Jeryl Belara Tio.

When in Albay, one can never go wrong with coconut milk and this was proven with Ivan Ricafranca’s 5-Spice Chicken Wings sa Tanglad at Gata. His lip-smacking combination of chili and mussels in Anghang Tahong is also a must-try. Villena’s special Bicolano recipes, meanwhile, include Bicol Express Pasta and Nilasing na Sugpo sa Ensaladang Mangga. Pili nut, in turn, is Jomel Macinas’ main ingredient in his Pili Beef Curry.

Poliran’s food adventure yielded two flavorsome kitchen wonders in Chicken Malunggay Pesto Pasta and Stir Fried Oregano Chicken with Lemony Chickpea. Meanwhile, Chuck used Lepte, a native fish in Bohol, in his Sesame Crusted Lepte in Miso-Mustard Sauce. And Anto’s Chili Cumin Red Tilapia with Cucumber Salsa is simply a unique culinary treat.

Cebu is famous for its flavorful lechon and local personality Mary Janzhell showcases it further through her Mexican Lechon Sub recipe. Dried pusit, another Cebuano delicacy, takes the spotlight in Jeryl’s Squid Fried Stuffed Vegetable.
