StrEAT Food Festival is scheduled on Nov. 12-30, from 4-10 p.m. at the Mehan Garden along Taft Avenue.

Over 50 online and home start-up restaurants will participate in the festival and a wide selection of cuisines such as Filipino, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and more are expected to be featured.

The Manila Bureau of Permits (MBP) and the Local Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office (LEDIPO) launched Entrepinoy as a way to provide Filipinos with alternative livelihood opportunities amid the pandemic.

Aside from the StrEAT Food Festival, Entrepinoy also launched “Manila Support Local,” a mini bazaar in the newly-opened Hidden Garden at Plaza Lawton from Nov. 6- 30, and an online masterclass for flour product making which concluded last Nov. 12.
