Ramilo (Ram) Villaluna
Ram is a budding chef from Iloilo City (Molo). He gained his training in Culinary Arts at the Center for Asian Culinary Studies under food guru Gene Gonzalez, Institute of Culinary Education (formerly Peter Kumpps) in New York. He took up bread making, and he studied food styling under Delores Custer of the Culinary Institute of America. It all started in Antique where his father owned a restaurant many Antiquenos learned to love. He continued the culinary legacy of his father and now, Ram owns a catering business, Cindy\'s Catering. Food is Ram\'s life, seriously speaking. I am short in saying that he is married to the food industry that, he spends most of his time teaching and mentoring at the Department of Culinary Arts at the University of San Agustin in Iloilo. If one cannot find him in the classroom, Ram will be on the road crisscrossing Iloilo and Antique having first hand in the management of his thriving businesses from both provinces. He also has a once-a-week TV show in GMA 7 \"Food Trip\". I met with Ram once before and he exudes perfectionism, the character that will beam him up to the limelight of culinary arts. At present time, Ram is extremely busy in Manila. I believe he is one of the finalists in The National Food Showdown 2010 sponsored by ABS-CBN. We wish you all the luck, Ram! Maybe, after this showdown, Ram will have the opportunity share favorite recipe here at ILONGGO LIVING.

Seafoods Sinigang
November 19, 2009
It’s really getting colder now, especially at nighttime. Temperature has been consistently dropping below zero. In just a matter of days from now, snow will be covering the ground turning the next chapter of season change . Ah…. the saving grace of Seafoods Sinigang, made of fresh white tilapia straight from the fish tank of our favorite grocery store. Since we have plenty of fresh water prawn (sugpo), my chef added a few of them to finish up the sinigang. Indeed, Seafoods Sinigang made us warm for the evening.
With alll of the ingredients of a regular sinigang, seafoods cam make your dinner exciting.
The sour soup made our cold evening warmer.
