ManilaQ's Corned Beef Pansigang
The Ultimate Taste Test 4.0 was concluded a few hours ago – May 14 – at the NBC Tent in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.
I’m usually slow in publishing my stories taking a few days or more. So, I’m first releasing some of the photos I took earlier in the Ultimate Taste Test 4.0 foodie event organized by Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet and hosted by foodies Ivan Man Dy and Spanky Enriquez.
Marty's Baconette Strips Snack (chichirya)
A lot happened and so much food consumed within the three solid hours of food tasting by more than 1000 foodies being served by about 50 food suppliers.
There’s even a voting / ranking system of the best tasting food in the UTT.
For now, feel free to feast on some photos of the Ultimate Lamon, este, Tasting event:
