IF you’re one of today’s many young urbanites
juggling between career and family, chances are that you have, on
occasion, sacrificed personal or family life to meet the many
demands of your fast-paced lifestyle.
No more is this problem more
evident than in family meals. Breakfast and dinners—the two meals
during the day that provide the best opportunity for bonding—are
commonly missed. Single individuals rush or skip breakfasts and turn
to fast food or junk foods for dinner.
This may soon change, with the
latest offering from the Purefoods-Hormel Company.
Mom’s cooking, anytime
“Although there are countless
instant or ready-to-eat food offerings in the market today, we
really wanted to give everyone the chance to enjoy real, delicious,
quality home-cooked food—much like mom’s cooking,” says Jogee
Cruz, PHC marketing manager.
Thus, the introduction of Mom’s
Kitchen, the new line of microwavable viands featuring such Filipino
favorites as patatim, callos, adobo flakes, and traditional
delicacies bopis and dinuguan, in cans.
Not another “instant” food
As promised, it’s not just
another “instant” food offering. The Mom’s Kitchen line
consists of actual, authentic dishes developed with the help of the
chefs at the San Miguel Culinary Center.
Mom’s Kitchen Adobo Flakes is
the ultimate Filipino comfort food, rendered in crispy flakes and
bursting with soy-vinegar flavor—best paired with tomatoes and a
side serving of atchara or pickled grated young papaya.
Mom’s Kitchen Callos, inspired
by the traditional Spanish dish, is a medley of tender beef tripe,
slices of red bell peppers, green pitted olives, and chorizo, cooked
in extremely tasty and thick tomato sauce that is perfect with soft
bread.
Mom’s Kitchen Patatim, a
traditional Chinese dish of boneless pork leg braised to extreme
tenderness, making its sweet sauce thick and sticky, is a must with
steamed rice or cua pao, which is sweet, steamed bread.
The canned variants, Bopis and
Dinuguan, are superb, delectable renditions of these versatile
traditional Filipino delicacies. Mom’s Kitchen Bopis adds zing to
your eating experience as a viand with hot rice or as a beer match
to spice up any part. Mom’s Kitchen Dinuguan is a savory stew of
pork in rich, spicy pork blood that is best paired with white puto
as an afternoon snack.
Good for you
Because it virtually carries
every caring mom’s name, Mom’s Kitchen does not have artificial
preservatives. The natural spices used as ingredients such as salt,
pepper, vinegar, and sugar, serve the dual purpose of enhancing
taste and maintaining freshness for up to three months, when frozen.
Carrying Purefood’s new “Good for you” seal, the line also has
no monosodium glutamate (MSG) added and is a good source of protein.
