An Awesome Chef Hasset Go Bloggers Night: The Il Mercanti Experience

I always love to hear about the various food festivals.  Last week, I was fortunate to attend an awesome event - Chef Hasset Go Bloggers Night: The Il Mercanti Experience held May 5, 2012 at Il Mercanti Food Bazaar in Metrowalk. It marked the launching of Chef Hasset Go’s website, www.chefhassetgo.com.

The event was attended by bloggers, social media influencers, media, sponsors as well as the friends and family of the young and multi-awarded chef and Sweets Master- Chef Hasset Go.

We’d come together on this night on the common ground of a few things: we like to savor great food, we like to meet and witness live cooking demo of Chef and we like to spread awesomeness.

After the opening remarks by Ms. Analou de Castro, Marketing Manager of Il Mercanti Food Bazaar, one of the concessionaires of the food bazaar, Chef Nando of Los Hermanos cooked in front of us his famous Paella.

The highlight of the whole event is the live demo cooking of Chef Hasset Go, a product of Heny Sison Culinary School and co-owner of MedChef Homemade Cakes and Pastries. He cooked a pasta dish using products courtesy of King Sue and also his bestselling Pastry Tower using ingredients courtesy of Puratos.

I am very happy to be in an awesome food festival,  witnessing a live cooking demo by Chef Hasset Go.

After every dish, the guests were given a chance to taste the final product which is how the event was differentiated from the usual cooking shows on TV. It offered a whole new way of experiencing a live cooking demo show within a new and emerging popular food bazaar in the metropolis.

The live cooking demos were followed by a Cake Fashion Show showcasing the cakes that are to be featured in Chef Hasset Go’s soon-to-be-launched recipe book entitled “Desserts to Go”.

The beautiful night was hosted by DJ Churley of 101.9 Tambayan and Ms. Kathy Solis of ABS-CBN. There were games of the energetic and food lovers bloggers, fun , comedy kits, sharings and songs of talented guests.

Yummy food served from II Mercanti food concessioners!  

The event was finally capped by a message from the organizer, Mark Joseph Delgado of Mediactiv8 Communications, who thanked everybody especially the Lord Almighty, the guest bloggers, the sponsors, the media as well as his friends and family who supported him with his “school” project- a requirement for the last module of his online classes at the Ateneo DigitalFilipino Blog and Social Media Entrepreneur Program.

I really enjoy this wonderful event. It was a blast at Chef Hasset Go's Bloggers' Night. Thanks to Mark Joseph Delgado of Mediactiv8 Communications for inviting us to this wonderful event.
