Mercato Centrale at BGC

Mercato Centrale at BGC is the new place to go on weekends , where one could find different kinds of food to satisfy ones appetite.  It's a nice day to go out with my long time no see friend from Singapore and I just had to show her this market. Just as we did, you'll also love the wide variety of food available.  We couldn't even decide what to get for lunch.

How to get there :
The market is located on 34th street and 8th avenue in Bonifacio Global City just across MC home depot.  You won't miss the big white tent with cars parked around it. The main tent is not airconditioned so be sure to bring your handy fan.  The extension tent is where all the grilling takes place and the shows.  On our day of visit, there was a doggie show.  The market is open from 7am to 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

What we tried :
My friend had the lasagna.  I had a freebie lunch of 'bagwang' (it's a very crispy thinly sliced pork liempo) served with egg and rice - yum!  It came free with my purchase of Ensure milk buy 1 take 1 promo but you could buy it on its own.  We also tried the cheesy potatoes which was very good.  It gets saltier though as you get to the sauce.  For dessert, we had chocolate moist cake and cookies and cream cake.  Both good and both very sweet.

Tip :
Make sure you go around first before choosing what to eat.  You'll find Moroccan dish, Italian pasta, Filipino bagnet, isaw and barbeque.  There's also roast beef, steaks, small tacos.  For dessert, there's Mochiko ice cream, cakes, cupcakes.
