Madrid Fusion Manila 2015 is happening on April 24-26 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. It showcases the Philippines as an haute cuisine destination in Asia through festive activities taking place in SM Supermalls in the country.

Highlight of that afternoon were the Filipino dishes prepared by the chefs for the guests to try. Chef Claude Tayag highlighted the diversity of Filipino cuisine by cooking two versions of adobo: the Adobo ni Juan Tamad and the Adobong Puti. Chef JP Anglo demonstrated his creativity with his Bangus Spring Rolls with Talangka Vinegar and Batikulon Mang Tomas Sauce.
