Perfect Eats at Best Food Forward 2015! Christmas Gift Ideas Too!

-
Last October 10 and 11, one of the biggest and best food fairs celebrated it's 5th anniversary at the Rockwell Tent. Best Food Forward 2015 housed the familiar, the innovative, and the most indulgent food cravings that could be gathered in the Metro.
Coming from a morning from at National Museum, I was famished and was looking forward to seeing and tasting different kinds of gastronomic treats that would fill up my stomach until I can't take it anymore. There weren't much meals inside but Natalia's Rustic Kitchen caught my attention.
I got an order of Homamade Meatloaf in Tomato Chickpea Sauce with smoked bacon, preserved lemons and rice. The rice was normal but the rest is as good as it sounds. The meatloaf is the kind that you expect from a family gathering, except this time, it is accentuated by the smokiness of bacon and the tangy taste of the tomato and some lemons.

Partly full, I continued going around the Tent. Thirsty, I was on the lookout for the not-so-usual drink while I was offered left and right to taste mostly pastries. Guyabano was a drink that I would associate with Zesto, when I saw that it was available "All Natural," I immediately bought a bottle of from Red Robin. It did satisfy me but it was just a bit too sweet.
This led me to going through the different dessert stalls again. And two stood out for me. Both featured Tablea. And the first one made the best Tablea Fudge Bars! I was hesitant at first but when we were given a piece, I knew that I had to take some home! Choco ATBP's fudge bars were dark and rich but not overwhelming. They are available in Classic, Sugarfree, Delightful Orange, Tsoko Sili. Since I wanted to be adventurous, I got the orange and sili variants.
My Best Food Forward experience ended with the sweetest note with Wadough's. They had a 20-Yolk Yema cake, Breakfast Cookies (ingredients include breakfast food such as coffee, oatmel, and bacon), and the best Tablea Cake I've tasted! Unlike usual, Tablea 2.0's texture was smooth without compromising the flavor. A little Jack Daniels made it much better than the rest!


I highly recommend Choco ATBP and Wadough's for Christmas! Connect with them through the following links:

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations. Through carefully chosen works and thoughtful narration, the concert traces the evolution of musical language from the Baroque period to the 20th century, guiding audiences through Classical balance, Romantic emotion, Impressionistic color, and modern experimentation. The result is an experience designed not only to be heard, but understood. Listening as Learning Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey is buil...
