SM Hypermarket’s Best Pinoy Street Food 2014

We love street food, my personal favorites are camote-que, fishball with cold samalamig. So, everyone was excited when SM Hypermarket launched the search for Best Pinoy Street Food. From hundreds of hopefuls who joined the elimination rounds in different SM Hypermarket stores, 30 best street food cooks were chosen by a panel of judges composed of food experts to compete for their very own SM Hypermarket food business.

Familiar faces!

The SM Hypermarket Best Pinoy Street Food 2014 highlights the rich culinary culture behind the famous Philippine street foods. The contest gathered cooks from various cities and municipalities and selected the best silog, adobo, pansit, sisig, mami and goto oh yum! more with the help of professional chefs from SM Hypermarket partners Knorr, Del Monte, Nestle, CDO, Bounty Fresh, and Purefoods.

During the semi-finals round, Chef Boy Logro  demonstrated food styling and carving and cooking demonstration. The contests were surprised that the challenge was to create the same dish Chef Boy demostrated earlier.

From 30 street food cooks there were only 20 left and SM Hypermarket‘s Best Pinoy Street Food begins its next phase. The 20 finalists was visited in their own food businesses and judged by chefs and and mystery special guests a couple of days ago. One of the mystery guest judges was my husband who blogs at NomNomClub.com. From there, the 20 will become 10, and eventually “the one” who wins it all in the country’s first epic street food battle.

What are the prizes? The Best Pinoy Street Food 2014 winner gets a livelihood “pangkabuhayan” showcase, groceries, and his/her very own food stall at SM Hypermarket rent-free for a year! Awesome! The Best Pinoy Street Food Grand Finals will be held at SM Hypermarket Cubao on November 28. See you there!
