Mercato Centrale Revisited

I was back again at Mercato today after about three months. I had to take a break from our Soo Jin Korean Tacos because I gave birth. Now that the dust has settled (and I found a reliable yaya!), I have time to do more things besides breastfeeding! hahaha! 

I wanted to find out if there was anything new in Mercato so I dragged my brother Philippe to go with me. We arrived there a little after lunch hoping to find an interesting dessert. All the stalls were familiar and I think there are less concessionaires now. Only one airconditioned tent (versus 2 tents before) is operational now and the open area. Considering it was still peak lunch hour, a lot of tables were empty. Some stalls were even starting to pack up already. Maybe the change of location was a huge factor. Mercato used to be beside Bonifacio High Street until around March I think when it moved to the back of MC Home Depot. The old location was far more accessible and less hassle to go to. With the crowd I saw earlier, Joel and I will have to double think whether or not we should join again and sell our tacos. 

Philippe just decided to get a drink since he was still stuffed from lunch while I treated myself to Merry Moo's Caramel Seasalt Ice-cream; I also tasted their Candied Bacon one...very interesting flavor :)

 Merry Moo Stall

Interesting Artisan Flavors : Caramel Sea Salt, Candied Bacon, Strawberry Basil, etc.  

I decided to try their caramel sea salt (Php 75.00 a cup) because they said it is their bestseller :) It was pretty good... creamy, taste of slightly burnt sugar and salty...yes salty! a good play of sweet and salty :) YUM!

Black Tea with Citrus Mix (Php120.00) - 3 liters

 Angus Beef Tapa (frozen and ready to cook) by my high school
 friend Koyen (Php 550.00 for one kilo).
