The food invasion begins, I can't even enter the hall and line up, But I roamed around first and took photos and then after that I learned that all plates and forks are gone, so I waited for another round of plates and forks in the table set up. My fault for not grabbing a plate after I entered.

I passed on a pasta for that day and I hunted for some heavy meals and dessert. Crowded and you won't even see a vacant cocktail table, most of us sat near the fountain, which is much more comfortable.

Thanks to Appetite Magazine for inviting me to their launching event, I haven't attended any food festival or restaurant festival here in Manila, I love the concept and idea of organizing a food and resto event for all of us foodies and resto lovers. I just hope that they do this every season and every year, how about a Christmas food festival this December ??
