Expensive Soup Plate of Heart Evangelista
HEART EVANGELISTA – The Kapuso actress and fashion icon attracted attention after sharing a photo of her monggo with chicharon served in a Hermès Passifolia soup plate on Instagram. Valued at around $270 (about P15,089), the plate drew attention due to its high price compared to the simple Filipino dish.
The post quickly became a hot topic among netizens, with many focusing more on the pricey plate than the dish itself. Comments ranged from amusement to criticism. Some netizens pointed out that using such an expensive plate highlighted the financial struggles of many Filipinos. They found it reassuring that even wealthy people enjoy traditional Filipino food.
Others humorously noted that the luxury plate seemed excessive, with some saying they would prefer to have the plate itself rather than the food it held. One commenter joked about their own cooking of monggo, noting that their version often gets criticized for being “too fancy.”

Heart has faced similar reactions before for using expensive items at home, including luxury brands for her Aspin dog, Panda. Some followers even expressed envy, wishing they could be in Panda’s place.
