This year’s Manila Food and Beverage Expo (MAFBEX) aims to take attendees on an ultimate food adventure by bringing together food and beverage innovations and franchises from here and around the world.
But more than just a haven for those with an appetite for good food, MAFBEX 2018 is an event for investors and trade players alike in search of the latest ventures in F&B. One highlight that has consistently drawn business-minded foodies is the Franchising Zone, a designated area that hosts various food carts and stall businesses that are open for franchising. Here is a rundown of some of the participating businesses.
Iyah’s Ice Cream Milkshake
In a tropical country such as the Philippines, it’s no surprise that Iyah’s ice cream and milkshakes always have a place in the Filipino diet. Add to that the fact that its milkshake menu comes in an assortment of flavors that were carefully developed and refined to suit various customer tastes.
