You got it folks! It's THAT time of the year again where all foodies troop to one venue to spend one whole day eating, sampling, buying and learning how to COOK! I'd go as far to say that this could be the Philippine's very own National Foodie Day... it's Yummy Eats 2013 after all! So, if you're the kind who's always on a look out for what's yummy out there then please mark your calendar and remember THE date -- May 18, 2013 . I may be miles away but this event (and the magazine) is very close to my heart. I can still remember my very first Yummy Eats back in 2011 and I can't believe they're now on their 3rd year! Woohoo! This time, it's the baby of my dear friend ML so please show her the love and be there at the NBC Tent on May 18, 2013 (it's a Saturday!) from 10AM to 6PM . There will be 50 new food finds for you to check out and who knows, you might just find a couple of favourites. Yummy Eats 2013 will be one fun day filled...

I jump-started my weekend with lots of eating. Yes, after weeks of not being able to eat out as we've been having a crazy, jam-packed month, I made up for it last Saturday. Paul and I headed to the NBC Tent to join our friends and favorite food buddies Richard, Irene and Lauren to check out the Best Food Forward which was on its 2nd year already. Like a very organized expo visitor, we made our way in by going through each aisle starting from the right side of the tent as we moved towards the left. There were also a lot of concessionaires located outside wherein most of them where selling grilled or deep-fried items. I find this year's BFF to be more organized and attractive as they did away with the white sintra boards and stainless steel dividers which were present last year. The set-up actually reminded me of how we did Yummy Eats last year. Since most booths that needed major cooking were situated outside, this also eliminated the smoke from filling up the main tent...

Hello May! We are getting a lil bit closer to the end of the first half of 2011 and I welcome May with some GREAT news! The countdown begins (yup! 20 days to go as of this moment) , Yummy Magazine will have its first ever food fair and YOU'RE ALL INVITED! Check out the Yummy Eats which I promise to be a fun cooking and eating fair for all of us! It's on May 21, 2011 from 10AM to 6PM at the NBC Tent, Bonifacio Global City . Just last week, I was fortunate enough to meet majority of our hand-pick food concessionaires who will be present during the event and was able to sample their best-selling items! All I can say was...they're all YUMMY ! The entire day is also filled with various activities such as cooking demo, culinary school cook-offs and a lot more! Of course, lots of prizes will also be raffled off! So, mark your calendars, spread the word and see you all on May 21 !! :)

I would like to interrupt my US food stories to talk about an exciting event coming this April. Summer will never be there same as we launch this year's hottest season with a fun food fair from April 2-3, 2011 at the NBC Tent ! It will be two whole days where you can try the latest food finds and orient your taste buds to new, unique flavors! Furthermore, Yummy Magazine and Entrepreneur Philippines are proud media partners of this event! Lucky participants will be able to get free back issues of these two magazines. See you all there! :)

Here are some reasons why I love my job... ... being able to see amazing party set-ups ... allowing myself to get star-strucked upon seeing lots and lots of local celebrities ... watching talented performers on stage ...and lastly, having the privilege to hang out with my pretty colleagues It sure was a fun fun evening! Congratulations to everyone who worked sooooo hard to make this party a SUCCESS! How I wish you can organize my big day too.. (teehee)
