Celebrate Philippine Independence Day as Chef Sau del Rosario collaborates with Novotel Manila Araneta Center to bring us Kanyaman Food Festival at Food Exchange Manila! For those who don't know, Food Exchange Manila is Novotel's buffet restaurant (which you can read more about in my previous posts: Celebrate Chinese New Year at Novotel, Go Gangnam K-Food Festival, and Novotel Manila Araneta Center Staycation).

As you can see, I've been to Novotel a couple of times already, so now that they're doing something about Pampanga, the food capital of the Philippines - and with Chef Sau, no less - I knew I had to be there.
