Authentic Pinoy foods will be available and running at the Asian Festival at the Ramsay Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina this Saturday May 18.
This was learned from Tonette Asay, president of the Filipino American Community of the Carolinas,Inc. (FACC) who said they will handle
this year’s Filipino food booth which will feature Pinoy food being cooked live on site.
She said the food to be served will either be single item or combo. Among the dishes to be served are lumpia, pancit rice and barbecue as well as kakanin or native snacks. The Pinoy food booths had the longest line in previous years attracting both Filipino-Americans and Asian Americans.
Aside from the Pinoy food the Philippine Cultural Dance Troupe of Charlotte will star in a dance number and a Filipino-American contingent will be on hand to join the parade of nations, said Dr. Eumelia Bautista de Garcia.
The 20th Asian Festival is organized by the Carolinas Asian American Chamber of Commerce CAACC and the Charlotte Dragon Boat Association.
