“Celebrating and dining together is a big part of Filipino culture, especially during holiday events such as Thanksgiving,” says Maj Yee, managing director of Goldilocks Bake Shop Canada. “We at Goldilocks wanted to create special Thanksgiving feasts from our foodshop this year to make it easier for people to enjoy their favourites at home with their loved ones. Instead of a traditional turkey, we’re featuring Embotido, a hearty Philippine pork meatloaf, with a variety of sides. And of course, don’t forget the desserts!”
