Best Food Forward Marks 4th Year

The country’s biggest and most awaited benefit food fair, Best Food Forward, is back! Now on its 4th year, another grand, exciting, and fun food-filled weekend is set on 11-12 October 2014, from 10am – 8pm. For a fresh change, it is happening towards the festive holiday season with a new venue – the Rockwell Tent in Makati City.
 
Indeed, there is more to food than meets the eye at Best Food Forward.  It has the power to continue bringing kith and kin together, convert strangers into friends, gather the food industry’s who’s who, and at the same time, happily give newcomers an avenue to be discovered in the bustling food scene. And from a meager 2-day attraction for a few hundred people during its very first staging in 2011, Best Food Forward is sure to surpass its attendance of over 6,000 food-lovers for its 4th year! With various specialty food stalls, innovative cooking demonstrations, celebrity chef appearances, family attractions, celebrity guests, and many more, its vibe and atmosphere will definitely make this event the most memorable to date – one that surely can’t be missed!
 
A rare moment from last year was this one taken with powerhouse chefs (from L-R) Pino’s Ed Bugia, F1 Hotel’s Chef Sau Del Rosario and Asian Food Channel’s Bruce Lim (extreme right), joined by 4-time BFF loyal concessionaires Yet and Dianne Andin of Chocolate Atbp.
 

BFF publicist, Gwen Cariño, is joined by Curiosity Kills the Chef’s host Sharwin Tee and one of the country’s top food bloggers Ritchie Zamora (The Pickiest Easter) and his daughter Rain.

Funky Fish - Punky Store

Hello world! Welcome to my world! It's my first ever post. What better way is to start with something pink, like the theme of my blog.
 
I work in Makati and every time I go to work, I see this super cool, with a lot of punky, chic, pop, bohemian and diva-licious stuff! Funky Fish is the name of the store.
 
 
 

 
Funky Fish was born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain: A young couple selling sticker tattoos to smiling tourists of all ages. Their business grew as their original product ideas reached the famous resort areas of Spain and Portugal. The first Funky Fish shop, offering a full range of fashion accessories and gadgets opened in Malaga, Spain in 2003. Today our shops are in 27 countries across 4 continents, offering fashion and fun to teenagers and young women around the world, and everyone is still smiling!
 
Funky Fish is not about fashion. It is about how you want to see yourself. Funky Fish is the way you express individuality and freedom, as intensely as you choose, by designing your own style. Now is the time to celebrate youth. Say what you think, and the world will listen. Invent your funky self.
 
 
 
 
 
Over the years Funky Fish have come to understand how women begin to choose their style and look from a very young age. They like to experiment with different styles, sometimes going with the trend, and often against the trend…
 
Funky Fish bright and colorful shops are the coolest place for girls to meet at the mall. They can try on different looks, change, then change again… and have lots of laughs while doing it. They can be elegant, wild, eccentric, or just plan trendy, but always “in”.
