Foodgasm 3 on August 31, 2013 at Mercato Centrale

On August 31, 2013, something big is coming...

For the food bloggers

For the food businesses

On August 31, 2013, the much-awaited  Foodgasm III will take place at the Mercato Centrale. 

What is Foodgasm III?

Foodgasm III  is a fundraising project organized by the UP Economic Society. It is an event that aims to highlight 30 upcoming food businesses and their best dishes through a food tasting competition to be judged by 1000 foodies, well-known food bloggers and respected chef-judges.

 Here is a video teaser: 

It will be my first time to go to such event and I have to say I'm quite excited to go. I will be going as a food blogger-judge so I hope I'll be blessed with good judgment of taste at the event. 

See you there!

Churros City

A churro is a fried dough pastry that is best dipped with  rich thick chocolate. 

Churros has been one of my favorite snacks since childhood. Ever since I'd tasted Dulcinea's churros in Megamall more than 20 years ago, I have always craved for it.

Then I saw Churros City in Pergola Mall. I bought some, tasted some and I thought Dulcinea's churros still remains undefeated in terms of quality and taste. But Churros City is cheaper and it's close to our house so if I'm craving for some churros, Churros City can somehow satisfy my craving for it. Besides, their chocolate dip did compensate the whole experience.

P35 only for one order inclusive of dip.

I've tasted their Double Dutch, but sad to say, all I can taste was ice and tiny bit of chocolate flavor and cream.

Gryn Wasabi's Chapchae

Tired of the usual pancit you always eat on birthdays or even in regular days?  Why not try a chapchae? Chapchae is a popular Korean noodle dish made from sweet potatoes. We used to buy them at Kaya's in Glorietta, but now we don't need to go that far thanks to Gryn Wasabi that's just one tricycle ride away. We ordered bilao 10 of chapchae on my sister's birthday last Tuesday and everyone loved it including my 1-year-old because the noodles itself is sweet and flavorful. 

Bilao 10 Chapchae good for 6 to 10 people.
Price is Php300.

A Simple Dinner at Dong Juan (BF Branch: CLOSED)

Thanks to Beeconomic.com.ph, I was able to purchase the following deal:

For P128, there's sisig, iced tea and rice that's good for 2 already! How insane is that? When I saw this, I immediately bought it. Last Saturday, we finally were able to use it.

Conti's Dulce Cheesecake

Tired of the usual caramel-flavored cakes? Why not try Dulce cheesecake from Conti's. My sister bought one yesterday to savor the weekend and she did choose the right cake! It's very delicious and they did a good job in combining the flavors of caramel and cheesecake. You wouldn't go wrong with this one.

Php595 for the whole cake.

Conti's dulce cheesecake is a caramel flavored light cheesecake on graham crust with a layer of caramel mousse and whipped cream.

Cute Cakes from Fortune Bakeshop

I was just doing some window shopping at Tropical Hut food mart here in BF Homes, Paranaque and then something captured my attention from afar. I rushed towards it and took some pictures of them ASAP before they ran out!

Pastries at S&R Membership Shopping (Alabang)

I was canvassing my 1-month-old photos in my laptop and I saw the pictures I took at S&R Alabang in their pastry section. There are only 3 pictures, but I still decided to share them for you. If you can't decide where and what dessert/pastries to buy, then S&R is another good place for you to go. They offer fresh and yummy pastries at very reasonable prices. Some of my personal favorites are their choco chip cookies, apple strudel, danishes and their cakes! Their prices range from P150 up to P900.
