FOOD POST: MUST TRY - FOODS in the METRO






Hello February! Instead of 1, I will be showing you 4 places to try these amazing foods. WHY?

I just think it makes more sense to put it in one post rather than creating a separate post for an ice cream, a pizza etc. right? I’ve also decided to make (in the following posts) not only foods, but also good finds like cosmetics, bargains and so on.



Cold Stone Creamery – Almond Vanilla (230+ pesos)


Premium ice cream mixed with your choice of toppings on a cold stone.

Rich and Creamy, almost like a gelato consistency. I LOVE IT! The vanilla ice cream itself is very good on its own. Add some almonds for some texture and you’ll get one of the best tasting ice creams. J



Shakeys – Texas Chicken BBQ (299 pesos for a regular size thin crust)


If you like bbq, then you’ll definitely love this flavor. The pizza sauce is sweet and smoky topped with barbequed bits of chicken, red onions and a drizzle of pesto sauce on a thin crust.

Make sure to get the large one, because the regular size is not a good idea for sharing!



San Sung Korean Restaurant – Kimchi Jjiggae (300pesos)


A rich stew of kimchi, tofu, pork and vegetables served piping hot.  A total comfort food during the cold weather. Pair with a cup of rice and you have a complete meal.

I love that the kimchi in this stew is not so overpowering but still gives you that kick. The tofu is soft and delicate and just oh so SARAP! The pork can even be taken out of this dish and it will still taste lovely



El Pollo Loco – Classic Chicken (510 pesos, meal set good for 2)


Mexican style cooked chicken! The chicken tasted remarkable despite of its simplicity.

The white meat is a bit dry, but who cares? White meat is always dry. The marinate permeated all throughout the chicken – it’s divine!


Sadly, I only liked their chicken. The other chow that came with it (salsa, tortillas, Spanish rice, and flan) is BLEH!




That's all guys! See you again on the next posts!

FOOD POST: Midnight Mercato on a Friday Night



I remember the first time I laid eyes in this gastronomic place, July 2011. My eyes dazzled with excitement as I see the variety of foods being offered. Since then, I keep coming back.

Midnight Mercato is a weekend market hub that offers an assorted selection of foods. From local foods like barbeque isaw, bagnet and sisig – to international cuisine like Japanese, Korean, Mexican, and American etc. 


I believe that the concept of Midnight Mercato was inspired by nearby Asian countries like Singapore, Thailand or Hongkong since these countries offers the best food stalls lined up on streets selling food till the wee hours of the night.





Last night, my boyfriend and I decided to go here since we already miss the place. These are the things we ate. Enjoy!


Assorted meats and seafood to be grilled. We ordered Chicken Bbq for 100pesos


Super famous chicken and pork intestines, 35pesos each.



Giant Takoyaki! Unlike the ones in the mall, this has more fillings of crab and squid. 1 serving is 70pesos for 4 pieces.




Pork Steak. Tender but lacks flavor. The gravy that came with it is very good though. 100pesos each.



Fresh fruit  juice. We ordered the large ripe mango for 70pesos.



And the star of the night. Merry Moo ice cream! Homemade ice cream using fresh ingredients! 






I got the Sea Salt Caramel for 85pesos/scoop. It was divine. It is very creamy, sweet and salty. Yummers!

We also bought home some cakes and brownies. 3 for 100pesos. I chose Carrot Cake, Caramel Cake and Revel Bars! 





Some things I notice. The food stalls are less than the last time I was here (January). The tacklings (bite size tacos) are now gone. There are also less barbeque stands. Mochiko (mochi with ice cream) is also nowhere to be found.  

Well, I will still come back in this majestic food heaven. Next time I will try the Nitrous Oxide Ice Cream. Ooooh!

Our total spending for 2 is 595pesos. It is very affordable and there are just so much things to choose from. If you want to have a full course meal with appetizers, main and dessert – bring at least 600-800 pesos for 2 persons.


Happy Eating!!!
