Food Anthropology Lecture &
Sunset Dinner
100
Revolving Restaurant, MDC Building
Eastwood,
Quezon City
Sunday,
November 9, 2014
At this
Lecture/Dinner (the last of our events in 2014), we will try to piece together
many concepts about our Filipino Food Identity with Dr. Fernando Zialcita, a
Doctor of Anthropology at the Ateneo de Manila University. He will give a
presentation on why our culinary
heritage is invisible, even to us. And
as the light of the day changes from midday to dusk, we will watch a beautiful
sunset where we will be able to see all the way to Manila Bay. To
shutterbugs, please bring your cameras so you can take photos and have
cocktails prior to the lecture. Dinner will start at dusk while we are seated
in the revolving area of the restaurant, where our sights will change as we
view the cityscapes of Makati, Taguig, Antipolo, and Marikina down to Manila.
By the time dinner ends, you will have had a 360-degree view of Metro Manila
and beyond.
We will
have a Filipino dinner cooked by the renowned Chef Jessie Sincioco, one of the
authors of the best-selling cookbook, Kulinarya. Chef Jessie hails from
Angat ,Bulacan. She is well known for her wonderful food presentation. Dinner
will be plated, and she will commentate on how to present dishes that are not only
scrumptious but also aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The menu was inspired
to match the lecture of Dr. Zialcita. (To learn more about the restaurant and
