May 08, 2021 Admit it, on more than one occasion, we’ve all had a sudden craving for Filipino comfort food but not the time, energy or the ingredients to recreate it at home. A common favorite is the kare-kare or beef stew in peanut sauce. Fork-tender meat simmered in rich and savory peanut sauce for hours—you can either do it yourself or save yourself the trouble and simply break open a tin can. Yes, you read that right. Plantation Prime, a boutique manufacturer and canning facility of Filipino classics, offers a line of ready-to-eat and long-lasting Filipino food in easy-to-open cans, the kare-kare being its flagship product. The modest 200-square-meter processing plant on Mactan Island is owned and operated by MB2 Food Products Inc. and manned by a tight five-man crew.
