Even before I received the invite to join the Carnation Family Food Trip tour, Carnation Milk has always been my milk brand choice when I use milk to prepare white sauce or any milk-based dish. And why not? My favorite cookbook is Let’s Cook with Nora by Nora Daza. For some reason, she always puts Carnation Milk when indicating the milk ingredient. After experimenting with Nora Daza’s recipe, the Carnation Milk brand has been ingrained in me for the past 30 years.
The idea of a Carnation Food Trip was definitely going to be one big food adventure.
The Carnation and Appetite Magazine’s Family Food Trip 2008 was an out-of-town two-day jaunt which brought together and transported 60 delegates, composed of press, guests, bloggers and representative from Appetite and Carnation to Northern Luzon for them to have a taste of specially concocted milk-based dishes from up north.
The food trip started on July 25, Friday. The group’s stop-over was at the Lenox Hotel in Dagupan City, where we were welcomed with a fabulous ethnic dance number by the Dagupan Dance Troupe, one fo the well-known cultural dance groups in the province.
The hotel’s kitchen team prepared a grand lunch buffet showcasing Dagupan’s main fare, the milkfish, cooked with Carnation Milk and in different renditions.
Here are a few of the dishes. My favorite was the Cream of Malunggay soup
I loved the crablets too.

After satisfying our midday hunger, we hit the road again for Baguio where we were billeted in Manor Hotel at Camp John Hay. A dinner prepared by the renowned Billy King was something to look forward to. Continue reading… Chef Billy King Prepares CarnationMilk-based Dishes
