WOFEX 2014

WOFEX or World Food Expo that happened last Augusts 8-9,2014. That was held on two sites. World Trade Center and SMX Convention Center. Highlights’ the food industry’s specialties both in the beverage and produce sector.

The organizers have two places that held the event for this year. As I said on the first paragraph; The SMX and the World trade.  As I spent more time on SMX than World Trade; I can give you a more detailed description on SMX events than on World Trade.

Imagine an organized market or a vigorous market in a sense that spice stalls rub elbows with oven makes, pastry mixers has a stall beside  churos makers . The place is one packed area of culinary feast. Take note of the word culinary.  I did not use the word gastronomy as it pertains to food. The event focuses on the art of cooking. There are many stalls that sells their wares and food but the main events are based on coffee art, and competition cooking events. They also sell cooking pots pans, and other cooking utensils.

Ok so you’re not into the cooking. But how about cakes? Yes the cakes they are showcasing are so decorative that anybody would think twice eating them.  Here are some of the examples.

The expo is heaven to any person who cooks or loves cooking. So got tired of roaming?  They held some lectures on food preparation, catering and what have you’s that discuss practical and very informative to any would be caterers or planning to go to food business.

The lectures are all through out the day so you can just sit down and listen.  The best part of the expo are the foods that are our favorite are also part of the expo. You can see boy bawang in the shelves, rosquillos, and others, not only the new foods such as organic soda, yep organic soda that will be circulating the market soon.  Being more adventurous? Get the Malaysian coffee and try new cuisines that would entice your taste buds. Cheese of different kinds, sahimi, maki, wagyu beef, sausages, spread the works.

Looking back on that event it was more of food for the mind as well as taste.  Better let the pictures show you at least part of the event.
