The World Food Expo or WOFEX is all set to conquer 2010 and make its mark as the biggest and grandest food event for the year. A much awaited annual food exhibit, WOFEX brings together all the segments of the food and beverage industry to help them discover new products and trends and find solutions to existing needs.

Aside from the usual food exhibits, a variety of events will also be held to showcase the offerings of today’s food industry. There’s the Taste Expo, Baker’s Fair, Food Mach Expo and the World Food Summit. These are mostly culinary competitions and demonstrations displaying the culinary artistry of the industry’s best and up-and-coming talents. Highlighting the WOFEX will be the 1st Philippine Culinary Cup, an exciting and prestigious culinary competition where the country’s best will pit their kitchen skills against each other.

So, be sure to mark August 4-7 on your calendars because on those days, all roads will lead to the World Trade Center and SMX Convention center for The Ultimate Food Show Experience—WOFEX 2010.

Got back from the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards in Singapore about two weeks ago but I still haven’t gotten around to posting. I confess, I haven’t even started sorting my photos yet, so even if I have gajillions to share, it won’t be anytime soon. Still, one thing I wanted to do when I got back was a link-luvin’ round up of all the food blog finalists. We were seated together during dinner, and while it was a bit difficult talking to each other because of the program, it was still fun sharing anecdotes and stuff. If would be awesome if you guys can get to meet them too, but I guess the best we could settle for is knowing them through their food and their blogs.

The evening’s winner was i eat • i shoot • i post. Leslie, the man behind the blog, is actually a doctor. Who would’ve thought that a doctor would espouse all those evil, evil calorific delights? Well, he does. And actually, going through his blog, it all makes sense. “Never waste your calories on yucky food,” his blog tagline goes. I’d toast to that!

Been busy most of the week so I couldn’t make share my wonderful news earlier. Kitchen Cow made it to the finals of the Nuffnang Asia-Pacific Blog Awards! Wheeeee! *is insanely happy* While making it to the finals has already made me extremely happy–I’ve been walking on air the past few days, dreaming about the old and new dishes I’ll get to eat when I get to Singapore–actually winning the Best Food Blog award would be even better. So, dear loyal readers, I’m asking, no, begging, for your help. Please vote for Kitchen Cow!

Finally, we have a winner!

Taking home the bento set we’re giving away is karissa, who plans to use the set for her work lunches. I guess nothing beats home cooking in the middle of the working day, especially when it’s something home cooked by her mom. Congratulations karissa! Expect your bento set this week or next.

To everyone else who joined, thank you so much! It was pretty interesting going through the entries. Quite a few are interested in preparing lunches for their significant others, OR people they’re wooing to be their significant others *waves to Mike*. Others were moms who wanted to brighten up their school kiddies lunches. Stephanie wanted to do an inspired lunch that tied up the four seasons. Jesa wanted to pack chupacabra meat (!) while magnetic-rose wanted to stick Rafa Nadal in a box. (How she’ll manage THAT, I want to see.)

And to those who sent their congratulations for the site’s anniversary, my thanks as well. Crossing my fingers that there will be more anniversaries to come! I’d say more giveaways too, but I don’t have to cross my fingers for that because I KNOW for a fact that there are a couple in the pipeline. So, please come back for more. Who knows what you’ll stumble upon.

Maybe tomorrow. *big grin*
