Prepare for an exciting weekend on November 11 and 12! The RUSH Fast Track Bazaar awaits you at Paseo de Roxas, Makati (right by Ayala Triangle Gardens) where over 30 local brands are gearing up to create fascinating pop-up stores. Whether you’re craving instant munchies, aiming to score delightful goodies, or seeking impressive gifts for your squad, this bazaar is your ticket to discovering fantastic finds.
At the RUSH Fast Track bazaar, a plethora of mouthwatering treats and refreshing beverages await from various RUSH-powered merchants. Standouts include three local food brands that excelled in RUSH’s recent three-month acceleration program.
Iccomo
Joenaz Bayawa and Larry Flor Jr., the minds behind Iccommo, found common ground in their love for coffee, driving them to create distinctive coffee blends tailored to their discerning customers. Their brand, “Iccomo,” stems from a straightforward yet profound query: “Anong flavor ng Iced COffee MO?” (What flavor is your iced coffee?) This question encapsulates their aspiration to innovate and shape the ultimate iced coffee encounter. Pronounced as “eye-koh-moh,” the brand embodies a relentless pursuit of coffee mastery.
Titan Bird
Named fittingly to match the substantial servings they offer, Titan Bird sets out to tantalize palates with a variety of double-portion roast chicken rice meals. Conceptualized by college buddies Chris Cokieng and Ralph Timtim, this enterprise goes all out to serve up oversized chicken cuts infused with unique flavors. Options range from the refreshing tanginess of Mediterranean Herb to the robust bite of Nutty Java, accompanied by generous servings of seasoned rice.
Kape.tea
Amid the pandemic, Jennadel Abustan and Nesheil Reyes, founders of Kape.tea, envisioned a business to meet the coffee cravings of individuals unable to venture out for their beloved brew. Leveraging their home coffee machine, the duo concocted and delivered an array of delightful coffee blends directly to customers’ homes. Since its inception, Kape.tea has broadened its offerings, introducing a diverse range of food options like egg sandwiches, bokkeumbap, and Thai cuisine.
