Gluttony: Ultimate Taste Test 7.0

I am was a UTT virgin. Now I can't figure out why I missed out on the fun all those years. ;)

Meet my new boyfriend, San Mig Premium.
 San Mig Super Dry you are dumped. 

Before the horde of people arrived. Empty chairs!!!

My Ultimate Taste Test Favorites:

Dessert: Mio Gelati

Superb. My taste buds totally fell in love. My friends and I got (and shared) different flavors and we loved them all. Gelato was smooth, creamy and yummy! It was the mochi gelato that got us all gushy though. I had the peppermint candy (no surprise there haha) which had peppermint choco ice cream and bits of peppermint candy. It tasted like Christmas in my mouth!

Mio Gelati
Look at all those flavors! :)

Peppermint Candy Mochi ♥

Red Velvet Gelato

I also liked the salted caramel mochi gelato. The banana nutella was okay, but I don't like bananas very much. :D

Main Course: Dulcelin Gourmet Specialties

Their shrimp and uni (sea urchin) pasta was exquisite! Also I loved how their dish was unique--  not something I can get just anywhere else! I immediately checked their prices, not bad at 1900php for a tray that feeds 10 people. It's a pity though that I can't order a plate just for myself. Hmm. The opportunity will arise, eventually. :D

Sadly, I don't have pictures because I passed by their stall during the "peak hours" of the UTT. Lines were long, and it was body bumping all around!

More Food I Liked 
aka food I will actually buy/ come back for:

♥ Wagyu steak - K our food expert said it's not pure wagyu, just processed beef, but I still liked how the meat seemed to melt in my mouth. :P
♥ Fish and Chips from Blue Bucket - Dips were good and you can't go wrong with cream dory. Not their chapchae though. It was dry and tasted like bihon. Chapchae in Bon Chon is so much better and only for 75 bucks.
♥ Tacos from Tacoholic because I happen to like tacos, and they were good as far as tacos go. :) Nothing really special though.
♥ Merry Moo's Quezo de Bola and Ham Ice Cream. Surprisingly liked this more than the peppermint choco ice cream. Reminds me of days when i would sit on our dining table and snack on leftover queso de bola and fiesta ham because that's just how the ice cream tastes like! :)
♥ Happy Tummy Chocolate Musubi. My tastebuds are partial to the taste of chocolate on anything salty. (Like Royce's chocolate covered potato chips oh wow.)
♥ Japanese Lechon from the Specialty Kitchen. Their black sambo was okay too. :D
♥ Swiss Gourmet's Hungarian Sausage I think I returned to their booth three times to get more hahaha they're really good. Good thing they don't stamp the passports so it was like a hungarian sausage buffet.
♥ Sassy Sisig Now my third favorite sisig after Aling Lucing's sisig in Pampanga and the sisig at Bahay Marikit in Batangas. :)

Weirdest thing I tried: 

My friends and I made a pact to taste everything no matter how weird or unappetizing they look, which is the only reason I tried the banana-kamote (sweet potato)-mango concoction from one of the booths. Tasted innocuous enough (like banana actually, no hint of mango or kamote), but when you work in a hospital, a yellow-green frothy blend reminds you of sputum and that's not a very good thing to associate with food. :/

More Food Pictures

Sorry for the quality, taken with a point and shoot while balancing a plate with one hand and holding my camera with the other. Hehe.

Black Sambo from the Specialty Kitchen.

Cassava Cake with Parmesan from Joan and Jane's Bites.
A little dry, didn't like it very much.
But their beef pot pie was promising.

Katsu Maki from Katsu House.
They had 3 diff. kinds - teriyaki, tonkatsu and tofu. I was unable to
distinguish among the three, neither by sight nor taste. :/

Arizona Peach Tea Samplers.

Jack Daniel's Brownies from Blackinese.
Pwede na. Good texture, but I like my fudge brownies a
little (or a lot) more chocolatey.

Roti Canai from Papa Roti
I'm a fan of roti but not really of curry. Maybe another flavor
for next time?

Soyami Soya Chips

Heart Melting Chocolate Cupcake from Joanie's Cupcakes
Tasted good, but my sampler was too gooey :|

Cupcake de Mercedes from Joanie's Cupcakes
This one I kinda liked.

Stuffed Tomatoes from Green Pig

I went home super full and feeling like a glutton because halfway through, I was no longer hungry, just eating my way through because the food was there! Next time, I'm going to starve myself the whole day in preparation! Hahaha. Grabe. Although not everything we sampled was great, we definitely got our money's worth. Can't wait for UTT 8.0! :)
