Yummy Eats turned an ordinary day indoors into a delicious gastronomic adventure filled with exciting food discoveries.
The annual eating and cooking fair of Summit Media’s Yummy Magazine brought together food lovers, chefs, and exciting food brands. Held at Taguig City’s NBC Tent at The Fort, the event was practically a playground for hungry foodies.
I arrived so excited that I left my camera at home!
Fortunately, my camera phone came to the rescue. It captured enough snapshots to remind me of the many yummy moments I enjoyed that day.
Yummy Eats Brings Food Finds Together
This year’s Yummy Eats gathered 56 food concessionaires under one roof. They offered everything from savory specialties and sweet treats to creative Filipino favorites.
Right away, three dishes caught my attention: Pepita’s Lechon, Pio’s Paella, and Resty’s Roast Beef.
They were the undeniable blockbusters of the fair.
Major sponsor Hunt’s also impressed me with its delicious General’s Chicken and Tofu. Meanwhile, Chef Tatung and Edgy Veggy offered samples alongside menus filled with tempting food choices.
As I explored further, more yummy discoveries kept appearing.
Yummy Discoveries Around Every Corner
Aeta Organics caught my eye with its fresh pepper produce and flavorful hot sauce. Then, Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm added a refreshing twist with its selection of flavored drinks.
The booth offered another memorable experience, too. They even let me plant tomato seeds in my used paper cup!
It was a simple activity, but it gave the food fair a refreshing touch of sustainability.
Of course, no food adventure would feel complete without dessert. The colorful macaroons from Chez Karine and Alchemy immediately caught my attention.
I also bumped into my friend Cay Cuasay at her Cupcake Lab stall. Her display featured green tea, Ferrero, red velvet, and banana wheat cupcakes, among other tempting creations.
More Food Treats to Taste
Across the tent, Hey Gourmet showcased a tempting variety of mouthwatering ensaymadas. Meanwhile, Theo and Philo surprised adventurous foodies with its intriguing adobo chocolate.
Manila Q offered another unusual discovery with its fish ham. Dairymoor Coffee, on the other hand, served its Barako frappe.
Every turn revealed another reason to keep exploring.
I wanted to try the ice cream at Merry Moo and Magnolia, too. Unfortunately, my tummy had already reached its limit after sampling so many treats.
That was perhaps the biggest challenge at Yummy Eats: deciding what to eat next when you were already full.
Yummy Eats Goes Beyond Food
The fair offered more than food samples and tempting displays. Sponsors Hunt’s, McCormick, and Magnolia also presented live cooking demonstrations and interactive activities.
Throughout the day, the NBC Tent remained packed with people eager to discover the latest food finds. The lively crowd added even more energy to an already exciting culinary celebration.
Meanwhile, I continued working my way through the food stalls with my Yummy Eats passport in hand.
By day’s end, I happily collected stamps from the concessionaires I visited. I had explored only about half of the food stalls, yet my appetite was completely satisfied.
A Food Adventure Worth Repeating
Yummy Eats proved that a gastronomic journey does not always require traveling far. Sometimes, all it takes is one venue filled with good food, curious foodies, and plenty of delicious surprises.
I went home happy, full, and already looking forward to another food adventure.
Next year, I hope my tummy comes better prepared. With so many yummy discoveries waiting around every corner, I know I will need it.
