Pig out moment: At the office and il mercanti

Last week was one heck of a week if you ask me since we just found out one of my office mates passed the board exams for teachers! woohoo! Congrats Jewel!

So as part of the celebration we had a mini potluck at the office for the October celebrants and also as a congratulations for our Jewel ^^, 

Another Banchetto Night with a twist!

Hey Y'all I'm back with another banchetto post! I know its getting kinda tiring reading about a food bazaar, but this one has a twist! 

Another Banchetto Friday! (April 01, 2011)

(sorry if the picture is a bit blurry)

How was your week?

For me it was okay, could have been better though.

So last Friday me and my office mates decided to spend some time over at Banchetto.

If you don't know what Banchetto is, it is a weekend food bazaar of a sort that offers a lot of food in affordable prices. It has local cuisines, korean food, and also street food like isaw (chicken or pork intestines), betamax (blood) and other sorts of food you can think of.

Before we went to the banchetto, we dropped by McDonald's for some pre-banchetto food - fries and hot fudge sundae. Afterwards we went over at 103.5 wowfm to greet one of our friends Martin T. He is actually one of the nicest Dj's I've met ^_^

(enjoying the fries and sundae while checking our facebook accounts haha)

Then this is the fun part.

I ordered isaw, dugo, and pork fat and a corn cob
Denise ordered Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes)
Joanne ordered Fried Pork Chop
Leizl ordered Pork adobo
Gelai ordered Salad from Buckaroo

and in total I think we only spent around 400+ pesos which is really cheap! ^^

(after eating the feast! ....in 3,2,1 I am now in a food coma haha!)

I was actually able to stay up until 6 am within the vicinity and its so great! ^_^

And I got something for my mom.... I got her Kim Mari! for only 50 pesos! and my mom loved it! ^_^

well that's it for this week's adventure I'll try to be on the look out for more places to explore ^_^

much love!

Pig out Moment! : Mcdonald's and Ortigas' Banchetto

Hello girls! How was your week?
For me, its a very lethal one. But it was okay haha!

There was another pig out moment I got into. haha! but before I start rambling what happened I would just like to say sorry because the pictures will have to wait...I wasn't able to bring my camera in this edition, I do have some pictures taken from my friend's phone.. I'll post them as soon as she forward's it to me! promise! hehe...

okay so going back to the pig out... It was a not so good of a day for us to tell you honestly. So we decided to just hang out at McDonald's near my office to let out some steam.

At McDonald's we ordered 2 Large French Fries, 1 coke Float, 2 hot fudge sundae and 1 caramel sundae. I had one of the Hot Fudge sundaes since I have been craving for it for days.

Then after sharing some stories and laughs we went over to Banchetto. If you work within the Ortigas area you would have known this place ages ago.. haha just kidding.

Banchetto is a midnight food bazaar of a sort. It mostly caters to the call center agents within the area, but due to its popularity even non- call center go there for a taste of great food that is affordable. Kinda neat huh? I think so too.

Honestly speaking, I did not have enough money that time because my allowance was set for another 9 more days before my salary. But I was stricken with my craving for some ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes) and kimbap

I love to eat Korean food and I found this great stall that sells authentic Korean food! yey!

We actually waited for 30 minutes for the Ddukbokki and you know what we got? more that that of course! haha!

We originally ordered Ddukbokki, but instead we got
1 Ddukbokki with Kim Mari (ordered by Denise)
1 Japchae(ordered by Joanne)
1 Kim bap (My order)
and 1 Bulgogi (Freebie!)

hehe.. we got a free order of bulgogi! yey!

We also bought a Longsilog from another stall which is Longganisa, Fried egg and Fried Rice.

The food was over whelming to look at first, but we were able to finish it. ^_^

To the Korean Family that was very nice to us

맛있는 식사를 주셔서 너무 감사합니다!

^_^

well see yah to the next pig out moment!

Much love!
