Do you want to host an event but find your catering budget tight?

After many years of prodding by family and friends, Conne and her mom finally set up their own food catering and events management business in the Philippines, called Caterrific Catering Services. And their take on catering is that having a tight budget doesn’t mean you have to “get what you pay for”. You can get quality food and service for less.

So, if you’re looking for a food caterer to cover your corporate or personal event, why don’t you try Caterrific out? One thing’s for sure, they won’t use any melamine-laced dairy products!

They’re more than a caterer, they’re Caterrific!

What milk does your child drink? Our son, CJ, currently drinks NIDO, a milk product produced by Nestle Philippines.

As a parent, the ongoing milk scare brought about by Chinese-made milk that are tainted with melamine, a toxic substance, caused us so much concern.

Our fears have somewhat been allayed by Nestle Philippines’ recent announcement assuring the safety of their milk products.

According to Nestle’s website, the other products that they produce or carry aside from NIDO are the following: BEAR BRAND, NESLAC, NESTOGEN, NESVITA, and NESTLÉ.  They also import NAN 1 from the Netherlands, NAN 2 and 3, from Switzerland, and NAN HW 1 and 2 from Germany.

Well, at least that’s one less milk-related item to worry about, now the problem is what of other milk-based products circulating our Philippine markets (pastries, milk snacks, candies, etc)? What do we do now?

I’m sorry, but you can’t blame me if I stay clear of Chinese-made or Chinese-sounding products for the meantime. Melamine-tainted milk, formalin-laced white rabbit candies, toxic lead-laced toy paints and defective christmas lights are more than we can handle for now, thank you.
