About Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test
Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test is a gathering of different concessionaires who give a free taste of their goodies that are already in the market, have just been launched or will soon be launched. The atmosphere is festive and everybody has a good time giving in to all kinds of gustatory delights. Visitors get to rate the food and the food concessionaire that prepared it on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest.
The top participants who get the highest ratings get to be featured in the food blog site, Our Awesome Planet, which will boost their popularity and sales even more.

P.S. Don’t forget: Only 1,000 tickets will be sold. Buy your tickets this coming week! 🙂
P.P.S. For home-based food suppliers, this is the ULTIMATE event for you! It can immediately introduce you to the wonderful world of foodies in Manila. 🙂 Join now!
Hi, will there be discounts for the first few persons to register? I was really excited to attend this event, as I am very inclined with food. However, I noticed the quite huge difference between last year and this year’s entrance fee. I don’t want to wait for another year.
Please do answer this inquiry. Thank you very much.
Aside from the home-based food vendors, there will be Power Plant Restos who are joining the taste test 🙂
There will be freebies additional freebies for the first few ones to buy the tix 🙂
As a food blogger, I’ve always anticipated this event ever since..But when I saw the taste test fee, it’s like I’ve paid for a set meal I haven’t tasted before. I know that this is a good experience and it’s just my point of view.Maybe the event itself is too commercialized already..
Thanks for the heads-up Anton.
I felt the same sentiment with angee with the steep price of the ticket at 585 pesos compared to last UTT’s event at 385 pesos per ticket (that’s more than 50% increase).
Hi Anton! Thanks for the email notification on this post.
Inasmuch as I kinda agree with the above sentiments, I have to remind myself that I just have to grin and bear it. After all, it is not often (rare actually) that one gets to be part of an experience like this. Plus it is a choice to buy tickets (albeit priced considerably higher this time) or not to the event. To top it off, these are premium grub up for tasting and rating, and a lot of it to boot. So count me and my family in. More power to the Ultimate Taste Test! Can. Hardly. Wait.
can we still reserve tickets or is it like first come, first served kinda thing?
where is the creative juice office located?
When can we buy tickets in Power Plant? 🙂
Chiara, they are based in Fun Ranch, Ortigas.
Hi Yin, Rockwell does not accept reservations but the tickets are now available in the Power Plant Mall office.
You can buy the tickets this weekend 🙂
Sounds exciting. What are your tips to first time foodies (like me!) who’d be visiting this event? Thanks
Excited for this event! Just got my tickets today 🙂
Just to confirm, are we allowed to bring DSLR cameras inside so we can take pictures of the different goodies?
hi anton, i’m a home based vendor but i never once joined a bazaar. Can i join UTT? As a participant if ever what can i expect? 🙂
Hi Kris, I’ll do a post for first time foodies joining the UTT event. Thanks for this comment.
Yehey! Salamat for supporting the event!
Yes taking pictures is encouraged 🙂 DSLR cameras are allowed.
Hi Dylan,
We actually prefer vendors that don’t have experience in bazaars. The intent of the UTT is to discover awesome vendors with really great food to offer. UTT can short cut your time to introduce your food to the foodies.

I will be in Manila on the 3rd of September, but will not be able to be there to BUY the ticket. Is there anyway one can be held for me? I am a foreigner coming in from the US for work, but will be free after September 1st. Please let me know!
I am a OAP 1 year fan, and I would love to get to try the best of Manila in one sitting! Please help, Anton!
I’ve emailed with no response!
Sige, please email me at anton@diaz.ph and let’s coordinate when you arrive in Manila.
Tickets will be sold out by then so I’ll get the ticket for you first.
my cousins will be buying tickets! we hope that of your vendors at mercato will be part of this event –bagwang, tina’s pie, mochiko and bale datung!
All set, got four tickets already. Bigger and better event! I know the prices went up but the event is also much more organized. All in, I think it’s worth the money! 🙂

The Fruit Garden will reveal during UTT 6.0 its Xmas flavor in its new “wave” bottle…. We are waiting all of you for a fantastic tasting session
Hi again, Mr. Anton. I just want to share my request to please consider other practical venues next time… practical, in the sense that it would not increase the entrance fees.
I guess I’m left with no choice but to wait for next year’s UTT. Have fun! 🙂

Thank you for inviting us over to Rockwell’s Ultimate Taste Test so we may present JFK’s Korean Fusion Fried Chicken and our Grand Pianono. This is our first public exposure and the acceptance from your guests was overwhelming.I for one, was not able to leave our booth so we may serve the long line of people waiting to taste both products and hearing their very positive comments and nods of approval really made our day.Kids saying “yummy, yummy” is very inspiring. People promised to see us in Mercato Centralle on September 9 onwards with their friends to eat and not taste 🙂 On behalf of my JFK staff….Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
