Among the Ultimate Taste Test success stories are Pepita’s Kitchen, from the Lechon Diva, Dedet de la Fuente; Carmen’s Best, the Best Ice Cream in Manila; the internationally renowned Risa Chocolates by Pamela Cinco; and Bhest Lasagna, rated #1 Best Beef Lasagna in Manila.

What Food Entrepreneurs Can Expect?

Home-based food vendors and startup food entrepreneurs can join for free, but they must provide small, 1-2 bite-sized portions of their latest products—enough for 300 food judges. All food entrepreneurs are welcome, as long as their products are new and exceptional.
✅ 2. Minimal Setup Fee (₱1,500).
for the venue logistics, utilities, and safety protocols and clean-up fee. High wattage appliances (more than 1000 watts) will have additional charge such as microwave oven, airfryer.
✅ 3. Awesome! Certified Feature
If your product stands out, it has the potential to go viral and spread throughout the food industry and the food blogging community. Food entrepreneurs who receive an average rating of 3.8 or higher will be featured on Our Awesome Planet, both immediately after the event and in the future.
✅ 4. Book Advanced Orders for the Holidays
Many past winners have seen phenomenal sales after the event, particularly during the Christmas season, setting the stage for a successful 2025. While selling is allowed on the day of the event, the majority of sales typically come afterward—especially for those who win the Ultimate Taste Test.
✅ 5. Make it your own PR Event for your Brand
In today’s crowded social media landscape, it’s challenging to break through the noise and make your product trend online. Hosting your own PR event is often too expensive, accessible only to big brands with the budget to execute it. The Ultimate Taste Test (UTT) offers small and medium enterprises a unique platform to create their own PR event, with food experts and influencers in attendance to help elevate their brand.
Final Thoughts
This year’s Ultimate Taste Test will celebrate the next big thing in Manila food, showcasing the creativity of the best home-based food entrepreneurs in the city.
