Donita Rose is now a corporate chef for a US-based Filipino supermarket chain
Donita Rose is now a corporate chef for a Filipino supermarket chain in the United States!
The former MTV VJ made the announcement on Instagram, saying she's now with Island Pacific, a chain of stores that sell fresh meat, produce, and groceries with a specialization in Filipino cuisine.
"It’s official! You are now looking @islandpacificmarket’s Corporate R&D Chef," Donita said. "Wait ‘til you see what we’ve been working on together with @gtongi & @maricelaguilar2010 to bring Philippine Cuisine to the next level."
Island Pacific has branches in California and Nevada.
In an article by Grocery Drive, Donita shared that it’s been hard to cook her favorite Filipino dishes in the U.S. because of the struggle in finding ingredients.
The supermarket's private label line that Donita is promoting supposedly "aims to appeal to both traditional and more modern cooking approaches."
"Whenever Filipino do designs to represent the Filipino people, oftentimes it's very folksy or very traditional looking ... I think the design now represents the old and the new together," she said. —JCB, GMA News
