Taste of the City 2

Tickets to "The Taste of the City 2"

Last December 6, 2007 (it was a thursday), various restaurants and locators in Taguig set up their booths inside the Tent in The Fort, also in Taguig. They had samples of their food ready for everybody to taste. It was to be a culinary showcase.

We got there at 7 pm and thought it was a little early. But since there was a crowd in front of the Tent already, we decided to go in. We presented our tickets and we were given a whole bunch of claim stubs. It was a good move to enter at that time, as there were just a few seats left unoccupied inside.

When we claimed our plates (you also had to present a stub to get them and give the different stubs at every booth thereafter), there were also a lot of people lining up so we decided to go ahead and sample the tastes of the city.

When we got to the first booth, we saw that there were only a few dishes there and servings were quite small. Well anyway, there were so many more restaurants who had set up their places, so we just continued on to the next one to have our plates filled.

We had to buy our sodas to go with our food and we had our "taste of the city". There were "hits" and "misses" with the food we got. And after the first round of savoring them, we looked at our stubs to decide where to go with our palate. With small portions given out, it was just really a sampling of the menu of the different restaurants. They were hardly filling. But there were more and more people gathered at the lines and more were coming in. We decided to go to the ones closest to us and sampled more food.

By 8:30 pm, the crowd was overflowing and organizers had to set up more tables and chairs. Even if there were a lot more of booths to visit, we decided we already had our fill. We just got one more stub and got our small cup of coffee to cap a great gastronomic evening.
