I have attended a number of food bazaars and exposition in the past years but the recent Electrolux Discover-E Food Festival held at the NBC Tent in Taguig last month was exceptionally fun. Beyond just tummy filling, the food festival was also a great event.

What made the Electrolux Discover-E Food Festival a Success

The two-day first Electrolux Discover-E Food Festival held last June 2013 was a resounding success for the brand after being able to come up the big event.smooth and easy.

Here are the following reasons which I think made the first Electrolux Discover-E Food Festival a success:

• The Food Festival

First, of course, is the food. There were a lot of food kiosk and stalls serving great food.

Moreover, with a theme focusing on Filipino cusine and pinoy specialties, most of the food stalls and exhibitors, even those not necessarily have a pinoy inclination came up with specific pinoy specialties to showcase exclusively during the event only.

Vigan Empanada

Inutak

The Juice Barista & Pedro’s Buko

Choco ATBP. & Mrs. Grahams

Some of which that were substantial are the following: Inutak, Teue Deli, Kesong Puti Tsiskeyk, The Juice Barista, Mrs. Grahams, Choco ATBP, Manongs Bagnet Station, Tiltilan, Vigan Empanada, Pinoysilog, Whisk, Pedro’s Buko, Double Delights, Manila Bake,

My favorites were Inutak, Mrs. Grahams, The Juice Barista, and True Deli‘s Litson baboy Ramo with Sarsa ng Kabote which I had for lunch albeit it costs P270. I think it was my first time to eat baboy ramo. 🙂

• Chef Bruce Lim and Chef Rosebud Cooking Demos

• Freebies

Electrolux DiscoverE Activities

More than just giving away lootbags and freebies, exhibitors made sure it was an interacive one where participants were only able to recieve the loots upon completion of the Discover-E passports after completing some easy tasks.

The social media hastags #DiscoverE with the @ElectroluxPH tags were also encouraged from the blogosphere, Twitter world, Facebook, and Instagram.
