The stage is set for the third installation of the World Street Food Congress 2016 (WSFC 2016), and for the first time, it is being held in Bonifacio Global City, Manila. The congress' main event is the Dialogue, a series of seminars and presentations held from April 20 to 21, 2016. Guest speakers from the international industry are presenting, and the congress will also feature a Hawker Panel, and The Pitch Box, a 3-minute segment given to all the young food warriors to pitch their great food ideas on stage. It also will include cooking demonstrations of iconic dishes from various presenters.
For the foodies, a feasting festival awaits you all at the Jamboree held from April 20 to 24, 2016. Over 20 international hawkers and street food masters have flown in and are all set to feed you their heritage food from around the world! The Jamboree is open to the public with no entrance fee (pay what you order, just like in at a food market).
It is the first of its kind in the country to have the popular international hawkers mingle with our local foodie scene, so it'll be a five day feast of new flavors while supporting humble hawkers that are out to preserve the world's comfort street food culture. Thie Jamboree lures in with its sight, smells, and sounds the new generation of traditional food lovers and food adventurers.
