Nueva Ecija chef wins Solane Kitchen Hero Chefs’ Edition Central Luzon leg

Chef Marlon Manuel from Nueva Ecija emerged as the winner of the first regional leg of the Solane Kitchen Hero Chefs’ Edition — a nationwide cooking competition which aims to recognize a new generation of local talented chefs. Manuel bested five (5) other contestants from all over central Luzon for his winning dish, the Arroz Valenciana Arancini with Pan Seared Duck. He chose Arancini — a stuffed rice ball — to highlight Nueva Ecija as a province known as the Rice Granary of the Philippines. Manuel will have the chance to qualify for the national competition round with P100,000 and a culinary trip to Japan at stake.
