Are you a parent, an ate, a kuya, an aunt or an uncle of either a preschooler or kids in middle grade school level? If you are just my age or my ka-batch, I'm sure you'd also love the museum which we have been to last friday – okay, let me correct that! I think EVERY parent of ANY age would love the first-ever Catsup Museum here in the Philippines for their kids!
I really made sure that Tammy is with me that day because I know that she'll pick up some learnings from it aside from the fun and excitement experience. True enough, my expectations didn't fail me coz' as soon as we arrived, Tammy got super excited already.

The Catsup Museum is a banana catsup manufacturing and science museum by NutriAsia in partnership with the Mind Museum.
This tour got possible because of them.
NutriAsia is the powerhouse of beloved, timeless and iconic Filipino food brands that includes Silver Swan, Datu Puti, Mang Tomas, UFC, Papa, Jufran and Golden Fiesta. I'm sure you are using either one of this brands in your kitchen table.

The story of the banana catsup in The Catsup Museum is revealed in four different halls:
1. HALL OF THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BANANA
In this hall, traces of the origins of the banana plant all the way from Kuk Valley in New Guinea around 8000 BCE is revealed.

This hall honors Maria Orosa. She is the inventor of banana catsup~ that even in the midst of war, she was able to invent and innovate the condiment we love today — the banana catsup!

Tammy and I are truly amazed at how they were able to execute the step by step processes involved in manufacturing the banana catsup in such a colorful yet informative way.
