One of the metro's top chefs and restaurateurs hosts a memorable afternoon together with everyone's favorite kitchen essential in another edition of a long-running partnership. Glad Philippines and Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu collaborate once more for A Fresh and Festive Celebration with foodies at My Happy Home in Greenhills Mall showcasing creativity, versatility and just how fun and easy it is with the right stuff in the kitchen. And just in time too for the holidays as your home kitchen becomes the stage for a festive holiday feast...

Held at the newest location for My Happy Home in Greenhills Mall, the aptly named store offers an extensive selection of beautiful home finds personally curated by Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu. Think of My Happy Home as an extension of her home in the mall featuring a variety of unique products from plates, tea sets and kitchen accessories to gourmet food items. Unlike your usual store, Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu already handpicks the items with each one making the cut and earning its spot on the shelves. Just leave it to Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu for that perfect find at My Happy Home.

And it's a partnership that promises a memorable start to your own culinary journey at home (for more on the collab, see my previous post Glad Tidings: It's A Wrap with #MasayangSaluSalowithGlad at Tsokolateria Artisanal Cafe from December last year).

Cook it, bake it, store it, freeze it, wrap it, bag it. Glad Philippines has all the essentials you need for the home kitchen in preparing or organizing all the components and medley of ingredients for that perfect homecooked sumptuous feast without a fuss. Think about it. Glad Philippines has the right product to extend freshness, retain flavor and reduce waste to cover just about anything in the home kitchen. From cling wraps to aluminum foil, Cook n Bake paper to sandwich bags and trays. That means more peace of mind as you dream up the special dish for the family. 

But what makes this collaboration special is the real and genuine connection between Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu and Glad Philippines in seamless sync bringing creative solutions to your home kitchen. Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu is known for her uncompromising commitment to quality in all her restaurants and the various products from Glad Philippines plays a big part in her daily operations as well as her home kitchen. 

There's just no better place or venue for the intimate and casual get-together. And My Happy Home by Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu was the perfect stage for A Fresh and Festive Celebration with foodies. 

Almost like a home in a mall, My Happy Home offered that much needed break from the mad shopping ruch. A "mystery box" containing various ingredients for a pasta dish was then revealed as the group of foodies take inspiration from the curated picks at My Happy Home. 

Participants at A Fresh and Festive Celebration with Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu at My Happy Home were then given free reign to pick the perfect plate and table setting to showcase their pasta creation. 

Meanwhile, the station chefs from Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu's restaurants prepared a feast of their own at My Happy Home...

...bannered by her signature Porchetta. From her artisan chocolate creations to savory dishes and comforting cuisine, Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu is known for her lavish renditions and the Porchetta is one of those enduring bestsellers in her flavorful repertoire of offerings. 

Imagine fork-tender an juicy pork under a light and delicately crisp layer of crackling. Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu has perfected the classic pork dish and made it her own. 

You can opt to enjoy your Porchetta in a plate with slices of pork topped with crackling or have it in a buttery soft bun topped with a fresh and tart salsa of tomatoes and vegetables. And of course, some crackling too. 

A live pasta station with a cheese wheel added to the tempting array of offerings by Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu at My Happy Home...

...along with even more treats like this unique pandesal with cheese, ham, butter and sugar for unique spin on the ensaimada. Is there anything Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu can't do? 

Shoppers at My Happy Home in Greenhills Mall will be glad to hear that they can enjoy brewed coffee creations as well as fresh-baked treats made daily to cap their shopping experience. 

Then, it was time to cook with Glad...

Based on the ingredients of the "mystery box," the teams then plotted out the recipe for their pasta dish...

As the teams fired up the burners, Chef Happy offered her secret tips...

...flawlessly executed by the different teams. Easy, right? 

Each step of the way, Chef Happy mentored the different teams... 

...providing key learnings from her vast restaurant experience. And this is the true secret behind the collaboration's long-running success. 

And the results were impressive, highlighting just how easy it is to create special dishes with the right ingredients, execution and products from Glad Philippines to keep it all organized. 

And the best part? You too can create sumptuous dishes at home with the specialty products from Glad Philippines. Easy like a pro, it truly was A Fresh and Festive Celebration with Chef Happy Ongpauco-Tiu and Glad Philippines at My Happy Home. Leftovers? No problem. Simply wrap it and bag it with Glad.

And it's a wrap once more with Glad Philippines. Stay ahead of the game in your own home kitchen this holiday season with all the essentials from Glad, and start cookin'...
