A two-day festival showcasing South Korean food and agricultural products will be held at a mall in Makati City on November 16 and 17.

Organized by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, the event, titled “Taste of Wonder, K-Food Manila 2026,” will take place at the Glorietta Palm Drive Activity Center.

Held in conjunction with the Philippines-hosted ASEAN Summit, the festival “invites visitors to taste and enjoy a wide variety of Korean dishes and fresh produce,” according to a press release.

The event includes a “K-Fresh Pavilion” where guests can taste fresh Korean produce alongside a “K-Street Food Pavilion” that highlights dishes popularized by K-dramas and on social media.

The event will also feature a “K-Food Cooking Show,” where a local chef will prepare “creative dishes,” including gimbap made with Korean paprika and desserts featuring Korean strawberries and grapes.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to take part in hands-on cooking sessions.

P-pop boy bands 1st.ONE and GAT will also perform at the event.

The festival is “open to everyone interested in Korean food.” Further details are available on the this Facebook page.
