General Santos TUNA FESTIVAL

Start:     Sep 1, '09
End:     Sep 5, '09
I've been to General Santos a couple of times, but I only found out belatedly that this place in Mindanao (Southern Philippines) celebrates such a festival.

The festival includes a parade of fishing floats, best-dressed tuna competition (hmm..gives me ideas) and of course, sashimi night...to name a few...

I still remember that wonderful package of the freshest tuna that I brought back home to Cebu with me, which we promptly sashimi'd or put into a clear soup with fresh sili leaves...*sigh* Since I usually traveled Cebu-Gen.San-Davao-Cebu, it was a lucky event that I went home directly to Cebu from that time, and hence I was able to bring that wonderful treasure.

Yummmm!
