Fusion: The Taste of the Season
9:00 AM
Since its introduction during this year’s
edition of the Sandugo Festival, the International Fusion Nights (IFN) has
become a part of the Boholano’s merry making, giving the people the opportunity
of tasting the different specialty dishes of some of Bohol’s biggest names in
the food and beverage service.
The IFN is once again re-introduced in
observance of the Yuletide season, with ten locators: eight repeating locators
and two first-timers. Unlike the
previous editions, however, the Christmas edition of the International Fusion
Nights is loaded with varying nightly entertainment (the last two only had live
bands) to pump up the cheerful feel of the Christmas season.

The different booths offer a delectable assortment of food, fitting for anyone’s taste preference. First time entrant Bollywood tries to introduce to the public the taste of India with their signature specialty dishes: Indian Chicken Curry and Chicken Pakora. Rich in spices, Bollywood is sure to spice up your cold evenings.
Those who have a sweet tooth or immense
craving for anything that is Parisian (it can also be both) may head to the Gavroche booth which sells authentic
French macarons, savory quiches, flavorful tartlets, and miniature
croissants. Side dish galore is offered
by Bellevue with an assortment of
dimsums and desserts to satisfy your craving appetite. Each order comes with bottomless iced tea.
The Panda Tea Garden stall also has
a variety of menu offers from fluffy Red Velvet cakes to appetizing
salads. A must try is their rolled pizza
which is sold at the exact quality and size but almost half the prize. Newly-opened Hola! guarantees the Boholanos a taste of Mexico with their
sumptuous tacos, nachos, and burritos.

fire.
