Goodies from Market Week Philippines

Market Week Philippines was held last September 19-23 at SM Megamall's Megatrade Hall.  The event showcased an assortment of products - clothes, jewelry, furniture, home decor, houseware and of course food! - from the different provinces in the Philippines.

My mom went there to scout for Christmas gifts and brought home bottles of Willy Bee Dalandan and Kalamansi concentrate (she gave us some too, which have long been consumed).  She showed us her purchases and we didn't need that much convincing to check out the event.  Since we were meeting the rest of the family for dinner, we had to prioritize and ended up in the food aisles only.  

Sambo Kojin SM Southmall Now Open for Grilling!

Food lovers from the south can now indulge in their favorite Japanese and Korean specialties at the newly opened Sambo Kojin Yakiniku Smokeless Grill in SM Southmall.  

Recipes

I've passed by Recipes in Shang several times and I wasn't really drawn to it.  We tried the Trinoma branch a couple of months back and were surprised that the dishes were less than P300 except for the Kare-Kare.  

We really liked the Fish Fillet Escabeche (P190).  Sweet, sour and salty all at the same time.  Loved the thinly sliced vegetables too.

Maggi Magic Meals' Bicol Express

Have you seen the commercial where the wife comes home and whips up Bicol Express for dinner without changing out of her pretty dress?  It's been airing a lot lately and that catchy jingle has been stuck in my head as if urging me to just cook it already!  Maggi Magic Meals' Bicol Express Recipe Solutions has been sitting in our pantry for several weeks but it was just recently that we had pork belly (liempo) and baguio beans at the same time.

Random Food Bites - September 2012

Here's another round up of either home cooked meals or random tastings at different places.

Tempura from DADS/Kamayan/Saisaki delivered right at your table.  Other costume clad servers bring around Temaki, Pritson and Seafood, Pork & Beef Barbecue.

Ben's Burjer

Ben's Burjer has been around for several years already but hubby has never ever tried it.  We were hungry, in a hurry and in the area so it was the perfect opportunity to go there.

Sweet September

Here's a roundup of different treats from last month.  First up are these super adorable M&M's luggage tags and luggage straps which I spotted at True Value in Trinoma.  I know they aren't actual food but they were so cute I couldn't resist snapping a couple of photos.

Purple Oven's Chocolate Cake is to die for.  I can't wait for another occasion so I have an excuse to check out their other cakes.  Hubby isn't a dessert person but he helped himself to a second serving of mom's birthday cake.
