Excited to go to Mercato tomorrow!!! Sana di umulan...

[bebeloo]

^is this the one in alabang sis? open na ba siya?

[silverlilac]

^no sis, sa October 14 pa ata ang tentative start ng Soderno e (the one that will be located in Alabang); we went to Mercato Centrale in Taguig kanina

we were there before 9am, medyo konti pa lang ang tao (though wala nang seats inside the air-conditioned tent). syempre we had my fave Manang's Chicken, then tried the Angus Beef Tapa Lady (by JAM Foods) - had it with fried rice and sunny-side up egg, yum! but i was blown away by Balamban Liempo - OMG, ang sarap!!! Yummy din yung Manila Q's Bagwang (my friend had it with rice)...and finally, I got to try Merry Moo's sea salt caramel - i loved it!

we also bought a couple of cake (red velvet and chocolate) slices from Med Chef, Iya's Jumbo Pastillas, Moroccan Briwat (shaped like samosas, but filled with almonds and dipped in honey - sarap!), Low Cal Cafe's banana-walnut cake and Belgian choco cranberry cookies, Don Juan's garlic chili in olive oil, Candoy's dalandan concentrate, Bataan cashew nuts. masyado ata akong natuwa sa pagbili hehe

^^ naku my sis would love to try the liempo and bagwang! mahilig yun sa ganun e. ako sweets/ cakes habol ko talaga.

me and bf also ordered Manangs' chicken and Moshiko, and we also tried yung peppered corn. Ok naman yung peppered corn pero heavy cya malaki kasi yung serving.

^^sis i tried Med Chef's cake slices na. the red velvet cake is nice, though medyo nakakapalan ako sa cream cheese frosting on top - pero yummy kasi hindi OA sa tamis. the chocolate cake slice is very moist and dense - and i think chocoholics would love this

officemates and i tried this last friday, dami tao pero yummy! malamang take out na lang next time, hirap makakuha ng upuan, nakatayo yung iba sa group namin, nirereserve ang chairs hehe....

[u8mypinkcookies]

we went there for brunch today! omg, super yummy Mochiko.. love ko na yung azuki mochi. My sis who doesn't like green tea sobrang nagustuhan yung green tea mochi and my cousin cannot stop raving about the cookie dough flavor.

here are the other stuff we tried:

bagwang from Manila Q- crispy, bacon-like strips of meat. Malasa and it's good dipped in vinegar. They serve it with rice & egg or you can order it frozen too and bring it home.

JM's burger at Johnny Steams- since the patty was steamed, feels like it's a healthier alternative to fried burger patty. Its was juicy and very filling. Sarap!

Manang's Chicken- thumbs up according to my sister who loves Bonchon so much!

we also tried the galantina, potato salad and rellenong talong in one of the stalls. The galantina was good. I don't like mayo kaya I didn't try the salad but okay naman daw, nakakasawa lang if marami. Yoh Gee's classic yogurt ice cream na0-try ko sa free taste, masarap din. I didn't buy lang kasi I bought mochi for take out pa. Nag-take out din kami ng Soyami chips and pistachios and crinkle from the stall selling nuts near the entrance

Grabe busog. Haha!

[sweetbabycakes]

me johnny steams pag sabado?

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ i think meron. lagi naman ata andun ang Johnny Steams!

Mercato Centrale will be back tomorrow na. Ano kaya new food stalls if meron?

[bebeloo]

milktea mochiko. parang i don't know what kind of food i was eating. haha

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ curious pa naman ako dyan. Ano lasa sis? Di masarap?

[bebeloo]

^pardon me sis, 1st time ko lang kasi kumain ng mochiko, so hindi ko alam ang lasa nung mga classics. okay naman para sa akin sis. una ko kasing nakagat yung matigas na part so mejo nainis ako. pero okay lang sis. hindi masyadong milk tea na milk tea ang lasa for me.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ oh okay! try nga namin yan next time. sis masarap azuki (red bean) na Mochiko, super like ko.. and green tea din sabi ng sister ko

[greenarrowbabe]

^mochiko!  laging azuki lang din ang binibili ko... hehe. next time try ko din ang green tea.
