QUEZON CITY: My Experience at "Foodgasm Goes to Maginhawa"
This event is the 5th installment of the Foodgasm event sponsored by the UP Economics Society. This is to share with you my experience at the Food Tasting Event.
Congratulations to UP Ecosoc for holding a successful and well-organized event!
Apologies for the foggy photos. It was raining during the event and it was hard to take clear photos.
This is my experience of the food event:
AFTER BUYING TICKETS:
 |
| We went to the booth to get our passports. |
 |
| Tickets are attached to our wrists. |
 |
| We chose which passport we're getting: Set A, which is the blue one OR Set B, which is the pink one |
Since there were 4 of us, 2 chose set A and 2 chose set B.
So we got to taste both set A and set B.
 |
| We were given a sfork and a paper plate together with the passport. This is Set A |
 |
| This is Set B. |

My review:
1. At 250 pesos per person (200 per person if you buy before the event), this is VALUE FOR MONEY. You're able to taste at least 20 food items from different concessionaires.
2. This is a great way to get to know new food suppliers based in Maginhawa Street.
My tip:
Bring a friend with you so you can share the food and taste food offered by participants in both sets A and B, unless of course, you're able to finish around 40 bite-sized food items.
