World Street Food Congress Jamboree 2016 was quite epic–the stalls of street food and hawker fare saw long lines of foodies patiently waiting for their fill of hawker fare and street food from around the world. For five days, people feasted on flavors from Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Philippines, and more.
This year, World Street Food Congress 2017 is happening at a bigger venue, at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, and its Jamboree food fair will run from Wendesday, May 31, to Sunday, June 4, 2017. Over 20 international hawkers and street food masters have made their way to Manila, including our homegrown culinary talents, and are all set to feed you heritage food from around the world! There will be 28 food stalls for you to choose from.The Jamboree is open to the public with an Entrance Fee of P150, which is consumable in the food market. Dishes will be priced from P150 onwards, and the Jamboree will be open Wednesday to Friday from 4pm to 11pm; Saturday from 1pm to 11pm; and Sunday from 1pm to 9pm.
