Time seemed to stop for Chef Tatung Sarthou, celebrity chef, restaurateur and award-winning
cookbook author, when he was asked by global brand, Skippy®, to create celebration dishes for
them. As a kid, one of chef Tatung’s favorite “baon” was Skippy® Peanut Butter with either
sliced bananas or guava jelly. It brought back happy memories of his school years and even with
him sharing his sandwiches with his school friends. Growing up, Skippy® Peanut Butter
remained a regular item in his own pantry.
Launched in 1933, Skippy®Peanut Butter is celebrating its 90th year with a bang! Chef Tatung not
just created three (3) delicious recipes using Skippy® Peanut Butter, and he will also be offering
them in one of his restaurants, AZADORE, from August 5 – 20, 2023. Chef Tatung says, “I just
had fun with Skippy®. I wanted to create a dish that’s not very traditional but entirely flavorful
and exciting. Something one would not think of when craving for peanut butter.”
Skippy® lovers and fans are all invited to taste the Spicy Peanut Chicken Pizza (Flatbread-inspired pizza topped with savory chicken tikka strips, vegetables, and mushrooms over a nutty
Indian butter chicken sauce); Chicken Satay Burger with Hoisin Peanut Butter (Flavorful and
juicy chicken satay with coleslaw in a soft and buttery brioche bun); and Chocolate Peanut
Butter Cake (delightful blend of decadent chocolate and creamy peanut butter frosting between
layers of moist and nutty chocolate cake).
Apart from partnership with Chef Tatung, Skippy® also ran a nationwide promotion inviting fans
to come up with dishes or baked goodies using the product. Mommy Jenny Ann Casintahan, a
businesswoman and a mom of 2 kids, was chosen as the Grand Prize winner with her Grilled
Pork Kare-Kare. She says “I love to join in cooking contest, I just feel happy doing it. I also love
Skippy® because it’s very versatile, it can be used for cooking dishes, baking and perfect for
spreads in sandwiches which my kids love, because it is smooth and creamy.” She also adds that
“I’m avid fan of Chef Tatung most of my dishes is from his vlogs Simpol.”
PBJ or Peanut Butter and Jelly might be a childhood staple in the past years, but Skippy®, Chef
Tatung and mommy Jenny Ann will happily show us that Peanut Butter is still the peanut butter
to enjoy any time of the day and can be used for both savory and sweet dishes. So happy 90th
year, Skippy®!
