I've never been noticed as a foodie before so imagine my excitement when I was chosen as a "Blogger Judge" by the UP Economics Society for Foodgasm 4. I knew I just had to free up my hectic schedule for it.

I'm glad I went there because I haven't tried all the food participants. Plus, the bands was great too.
Having tried all the food participants... Let me share my feedback with you based on the order of the score sheet just to be fair.
I'm generally not a fan of cupcakes but I enjoyed the Batak Sesame cupcake from Cuptain Cakes because it was moist and not overly sugary. I liked the bold taste of sesame in the icing but would've loved it better if the flavor on the cupcake itself was stronger.

Niku Nuki's Crabstick is fun to eat as a comfort Japanese snack. The batter and nori was fresh and crisp so it was a good way to complement the crabstick concealed within. This won as"People's Choice".

Being a chocoholic, I loved Cooking Ina's Chocolate Rhumballs! They were so generous too. =) I had all 7 assortments: Wasabi, Chili, Double Dutch, Peanut, Coconut and White Milk Chocolate. Cooking Ina's Kitchen offers bento boxes for lunch, snacks and dinner too.

The Pescado Gourmet Turo in Olive Oil is good but it just lacks the X factor as compared to the rest for me.

I wasn't expecting anything but I was really stunned by how good it was! Although this didn't win, this is definitely the winner for me.

The champion of Foodgasm 4 isHungry Buster's Dying Burger. I'll let the photo speak for itself! Just look at that thick beef patty.
My friends' top pick is Team Johnny's CheeCups which ironically is one of the least for me.
They say everything with bacon is good... Well,Baking Bad's Bacon Cookiesfailed to impress me.

Modern Desserts's Pastillas Flan got great texture! It's just a bit too sweet for me.
