Enjoy the flavors of Korea

MANILA, Philippines - Unique in taste, Korean cuisine continues to be one of the fastest growing food cuisines in the world. Infusing traditional flavors and regional spices from in-land cities like Seoul with the port cities of Incheon and Busan, Korean dishes present the palate with something spicy, salty, sweet and sour. Colorful to the eyes, and bountiful on the stomach, Korean cuisine is sure to satisfy taste buds.

CJ Foods Corporation, Korea’s No.1 food company, offers a line of Korean food products that are high in quality, convenient and truly delicious. Having recently announced their partnership with Federated Distributors, Inc. (FDI) their initial product offering to the Filipino market will truly whet the appetite. From delicious, vitamin enriched noodles perfect to whip up a stir-fry of Japchae, to original and spicy Bulgogi sauces that will enhance the taste of grilled beef, there are numerous delicious recipes for food lovers and cooking enthusiasts to try out in the kitchen.

“Korean food is quickly becoming the international cuisine of choice and with the busy lifestyle of a typical Filipino, we want to offer the convenience of cooking the Korean way,” revealed Ronald Tieng, FDI managing director.

The unveiling of the partnership last Oct. 21 at Makati Shangri-La Hotel, was witnessed by trade partners, store owners, merchandisers and buyers, representatives from the Embassy of Korea and Korean nationals. Tieng, together with T.H. Lee, CJ Foods general manager for Southeast Asia, led the logo unveiling ceremony, while Rep. Irwin Tieng led the ribbon-cutting with the executive team of FDI.

Guests were treated to a night of great food and entertainment with Chef Mike Bautista conducting a cooking demonstration of Korean dishes with a Pinoy twist. As well as an array of delicious Korean dishes as prepared by chefs from various culinary schools in Manila.

CJ Food products are exclusively distributed by Federated Distributors, Inc. (FDI) and are available in major supermarkets and partner retail outlets.
