The idea started in August 2014 when a group of friends went to their 1st international bonding escapades in Malaysia and Singapore. While in Singapore, wandering the superstructure of Manila Bay Sands, Kristine Sabordo, one of the faculty members of OLFU, CHIM, and Josh came to realize of connecting the idea to their respective courses and parade their skills at the end of the course.






In 2019, the EPICurean Fair "Creating W.O.R.L.D." was launched. That season, the EPICurean Fair committee has set hands to realize the theme: Creating W.O.R.L.D. which means:

WINNING through OPTIMISM by REDEFINING LEARNING and DEVELOPMENT

The Hospitality Management Department (HMD) under the supervision of the College of Hospitality and Institutional Management (CHIM) holds EPICurean Fair 2019 at the university quadrangle last February 29 to March 02, 2019.
