Foodies and Laksamana College of Business (LCB) Culinary School students now have a source of inspiration thanks to the kind donation of several Filipino cuisine cookbooks to the LCB Library.
Her Excellency Marian Jocelyn R. Tirol-Ignacio, Ambassador of the Philippines Embassy in Brunei, noted during the handing over ceremony that “Beyond the kitchen, these books symbolise something greater. They represent the enduring friendship between the Philippines and Brunei — a friendship rooted in mutual respect, understanding, and a shared love for good food.” As bridges to connect the community in a “shared journey of discovery, H.E Tirol-Ignacio also hoped to collaborate with ASEAN diplomats in order to build a future library of regional culinary publications that the college’s school students could utilise in their studies. Amongst the publications are the award-winning Nicole Ponseca and Miguel Trinidad book titled ‘I Am a Filipino’ and books from renowned Philippine institutions and chefs like Maya Kitchen, Goldilocks Bakeshop and Nora Daza. The library and the new Filipino cookbook section are also available to the public to read on campus, and can be accessed via inquiry to the library reception desk.
