Bela gained fame as an actress, with early roles in popular TV shows under major networks like GMA Network and ABS-CBN. She began her career as a talent of ABS-CBN’s Star Magic before moving to GMA Network and eventually returning to ABS-CBN.

Throughout her acting career, Bela Padilla has shown versatility, starring in romantic comedies, dramas, and action films. Some of her notable works include Meet Me in St. Gallen (2018), 100 Tula Para Kay Stella (2017), and On Vodka, Beers, and Regrets (2020).

Bela recently shared a video of herself pretending to be a chef while cooking some tasty dishes. In the now-viral clip, she was seen preparing Keto Rice, which caught the attention of one online user.

In the comments, a curious netizen asked why Bela didn’t rinse the rice before cooking it, saying, “Bakit di mo hinugasan ang bigas, Ms. Bela?” To this, Bela humorously responded, “It’s a different kind of bigas.”

Instead of regular rice, Bela was actually cooking Keto ‘Shirataki’ Rice, something other netizens pointed out in the comments as well.

In her caption, Bela stayed in character, praising the “chef” and playfully writing, “Tonight, my chef made me a crispy rice Asian salad dish with homemade calamansi and patis butter glazed Pampano (@tipsypig_ph is my second home!) Compliments to the chef!”
