The Ultimate Taste Test 6.0 PART 2 : The Feast

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Despite the heavy breakfast my mother served me last Saturday, I was able to try all the food served during the Ultimate Taste Test 6.0. We started around 11:30 in the morning, took 3 breaks from eating, then finished at around 5:30 in the afternoon and left to attend a dinner buffet. Too much eating, eh? I am a foodie, people, I am hardcore that way.

Some of the food vendors were familiar since I frequent to Mercato Centrale during weekends, while some were new to me. Not all of them were generous with their food servings but I understand because they have 1000 foodies to feed, for that matter. Also, it’s not advisable to gorge on specific food of large quantity as you might be too full to enjoy other dishes. On the other hand, there were some vendors who were generous enough to encourage a second round.

The Ultimate Taste Test 6.0 PART 1: The Event

Last Sunday I was in a food coma due to what transpired the day before. Don’t get me wrong. I could have faded away that day and wouldn’t mind because it will definitely be a delicious death. I am still alive right now, hey, so, let me just share with you what happened last Saturday.

I woke up around 8 in the morning and while contemplating a game plan for the itinerary of the day, my mother served me breakfast in bed. A plateful of fried rice, cream dory fish, and beef stewed. It was lovely, yes, but having breakfast was the last thing on my mind. That day, I swore to try all the food that will be served at Our Awesome Planet and Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test. No big deal, yeah. The thing is, I still have a dinner buffet to attend to at Sambo Kojin in Eastwood City, Libis after the Ultimate Taste Test. Not wanting to break my mother’s heart, I ate the breakfast, and that was the start of an all day hardcore mean food tripping.

Ultimate Taste Test 6.0 was a whole day event, from 11am to 9pm and you can come whatever time you want. I always believed that gratification delayed is gratification denied, so, a little past the opening of the event, Glenn of The Strolling Spoon Blog and I were already having our way at every stall feasting on glorious food. We couldn’t stay until the end of the event, so we have to make the most of our time to savor every food served. I could have worn roller blades for faster trips to every stall, but that would be crazy and downright funny, so I let go of the idea.

Thursday, September 1, 2011

In welcoming the first of the ~ber months, here is my virtual toast to everyone who shares the same passion for food with me.

May the remaining months of the year 2011 be as sweet and exciting as the intensely rich chocolate sherbet balls with a hint of chili aptly called Frozen “Hot” Xoco of Xocolat.

Cheers!
