Unilever Food Solutions (UFS) Philippines hold the first-ever Funlasang
Pinoy Twist Fest competition last August 26, 2017 where chefs and cooks from
across the country unleashed their creativity in putting a twist in classic
Filipino dishes. The ten who competed were chosen among the 160 mouth-watering
recipes of different Filipino dishes with a twist in a rigorous selection.
The competition was created to provide an avenue for the Pinoy chefs and

experience of their loyal diners.”
