Also, it is one of the toughest UTTs with the best chefs, food bloggers/ influencers, and resto PH restaurateurs in attendance. This is now a food industry pre-Christmas Thanksgiving tradition in Gallery Mira Nila which started in 2020.

Over the last 14 years in UTT history, if a vendor gets a rating of 3.8 above, majority of the foodies, chefs and restaurateurs rave about it and become sustainably successful in the food industry in Manila.

@Flourpotmanila | Best Mazapan de Pili Cheesecake & Bleu Cheese Rolls by Chef Rhea Sycip
“I had a quick chat with Chef Rhea and mad respect for making this labor intensive cheesecake. It may be expensive but it is worth every centavo! You can taste the passion andlove mixed into each baked delight. I’m the Durian Doughnut customer, hehe.”
“Cheese rolls are to die for, brioche bread is soft and the cheese (d tinipid) !The mazapan cakes are also amazing! Perfect balance. Not too sweet, you can still taste the pili nuts and goes well with the cheesecake”
“I think the cheesecake was just too sweet for me. But the blue cheese roll was unique and good”
“The mazapan pili cheesecake is the bomb!!! The process of making this cake is verymeticulous that is why the end product really is outstanding. I also enjoyed the blue cheeserolls, not usually a fan of blue cheese but what made it interesting is when they torched the cheese on top to add a little texture”
“The cheesecake was too sweet but the crust was delicious. The cheese roll was wonderfully soft and had just enough Bleu cheese to give a delicious funk without being over or overshadowing the cheddar.”
