World Street Food Congress 2017


28 top street food chefs and vendors/hawkers from around the world came to Manila for this year’s World Street Food Jamboree. They include household names from India, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, USA, Thailand, Mexico, Germany, Singapore, Japan.

The World Street Food Congress' mission is to recognize energies and galvanize opportunities for the world’s greatest culinary heritage – comfort street food.



The Jamboree started last May 31 and today is their last day. The said event was open to public earlier at exactly 1pm. Beating the heat with our hungry stomachs just to try the other country's street food specialties. There was an entrance fee of 150php which you can redeem in stalls of your choice. Because of the scorching heat & long lines, we lost our energy to eat more food and ended up ordering only 2 specialties from Indonesia and Japan.

Martabak Manis “San Francisco” by Mr. Buyung, Indonesia
Martabak Manis is a recent wildly popular variation of sweet martabak or appam balik or the Chinese mee chang kueh. Mr Bong Kap Kap Djun started selling this well-loved snack in 1965 in a street stall. He renamed it Martabak San Francisco in 1967. Since then they have created a healthy martabak manis with no yeast and no artificial sweeteners, yet it yields the same results – crispy edges and soft gummy body.

Kushikatsu Darama, Japan
A must-visit in Osaka, Japan, Daruma is where you will find both locals and tourists. Their kushikatsu – known as fried food on skewers – are coated with a light batter than deep-fried to a lovely golden brown hue. The magic is his special dip sauce with hints of soy, sugar and vinegar. It is best paired with a glass of icy cold beer.

We didn't stay long as we were sweating while eating. Haha! At least we participate, right? It is FOOD we are talking here.. Haha!

LA PLAYA RESORT: A Quick Escape

Image
Are you looking for an escape here in Cavite? There is A LOT... It may be beaches or pools, Cavite have them. But if you are looking for both and clean surroundings, one I can suggest is the La Playa Resort in Calibuyo, Tanza. To go: 1. If you are from Tejero, you can ride a bus to Naic/Tanza and take off in Calibuyo where you can see a big "La Playa Resort" signage at the right. 2. From there, you can ride a tricycle to the resort. The fare is unknown as we always went there by a rented van or jeep. Renting a van or jeep is a big help for a big group. Entrance fee for adults is 100php which you can swim either in the beach or in the pool, for kids 3 years old and above is 80php (inclusive use of beach and pool) and kids below 3 years old is FREE. There is a lot of kubo or cottage to choose from, ranges from 500php - 3,000php. There is NO CORKAGE, so you can grill your prepared food from there. If you like to stay for a night, they have also plenty of roo

GenTea Milktea ✖️ Burger: General Trias' Milk Tea Haus

Image
Been to GenTea? Opened last October 2013, since then they are the #1 hang out place in General Trias, Cavite. It is owned by one of my high school classmate and her husband, located just near St. Francis Of Assisi Church. Great place to hang with their chillax music and even watch movies. Positive vibe from its interior with those old posters, quotes & sayings written on the wall, tables made from car battery and car wheels which makes it unique. For the food, we tried... Classic Burger ✖️ Fries ✖️ Matcha Frappe ✖️ Swiss Mocha Frappe 7Up Chery Float Kiwi & Strawberry Italian Soda Classic Burger Visit & follow them on https://www.facebook.com/genteamilktea/ and on  https://www.instagram.com/gentea_milkteaxburger/ for more updates...
