U.P. Economics Society: Foodgasm 2012




Last August 25, 2012, Allen of Stop! Look! and Capture! was invited as one of the food blogger judges in a food tasting event and competition, dubbed as Foodgasm, which was organized by UP Economics Society. Taking advantage of the perks of having a food blogger boyfie, I was asked to come along with him and get the feel of being a foodie judge. 


Allen of Stop! Look! and Capture!

Mercato Centrale was filled with contest participants all of which are aspiring food business owners showcasing their bestsellers as their contest entry. 

*in no particular order

Mr & Mrs Brussels Gourmet Waffles : Red Velvet Belgian Waffle with Cream Frosting and Strawberries 
Fluffy-based waffle topped with strawberry puree and cream cheese was a delightful combination!

Tofud Sweets: Blueberry Tofu Cheesecake
Very similar to the usual cheesecake, but with a tofu twist. It also has the tendency to be too soft because of tofu's consistency

The Pastry Cream: Quadruple Chocolate
Chocolate in different forms (chocolate cake base, chocolate ganache frosting, chocolate buttercream filling, white chocolate sprinkle) combined in a bite-size goodness! 

Flavor Avenue: Bagnet Paella
Tomato, red egg, bits of bagnet, and spices as alternative to your usual rice.

Blue Toque: The Ultimate
As its name goes, it's indeed the ultimate! Multilayered Belgian choco mousse with meringue. 

Sweet Home Bakeshop: Butterscotch
Home-baked butterscotch in chocolate chip, mango, and original flavor.

Kyma's Mojos and More: Taiwanese-style Chicken
They're not as crunchy as expected but definitely tasty. No need for gravy. 

Carlo's Kitchen: Crunchy Belly
Thin-sliced pork made into chicharon. Crunchy and tasty!

Mad Marks: Vanilla and Chocolate Ice Cream
Vanilla was great complemented with the bittery chocolate! 

C's Mila: Sinantol
New to my palate but greatly paired with rice or crackers. Sinantol is addicting!

Pastry Princess: Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting
What made this standout is its milky frosting. Yum!

Kiera's Goodies: Panecillos
Rolled pastry with sweet ground pili filling. 

Bistrology: Arancini
Risotto, tomato, tinapa, mozzarella formed into a ball and fried. Italian craving satisfied!

Bugle Boy Distributors Corp.: Arizona
Alternative quencher for tea thirst!

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen: Panzarotti
It's meaty, it's cheesy. Dip in bleu cheese, pesto, or pomodoro sauce. 


Aside from the food entrepreneurs, sponsors made the event exciting through games, photobooth, freebies, and prizes. I even won a pair of shoes from Kickers and a free meal from Manila Q


with my newly won Kickers sandals

a closer look! 

Fish Ham from Manila Q. Really good! :)

take home


Now if you missed this event, don't worry as Foodgasm is having its second bite on March 09, 2013 6PM-10PM at Mercato Centrale
