Best with Bread: Purefoods Corned Beef

For many Filipinos including myself, corned beef is a canned food staple that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.

Whether it be mixed with onions or potatoes, toasted or guisado, corned beef can be eaten with Pan de Sal, rice, or even sky flakes!

Since it is ulam for all occasions, I stick only to the best, and that is PureFoods Corned Beef. Export Quality Meats, 100% beef, and at a reasonable price. PureFoods Corned Beef is truly the best!
