At the Salcedo Market
To market, to market… is a a blogging event I am hosting each month to celebrate the joys of going to the market and buying our food. This month, I am featuring the Salcedo Market in Makati, Philippines. You still have a few days left to share your scoop at the market this month. Check out the guidelines and come back for the round-up next week.
My sister and I went to Salcedo Market several Saturdays ago to check it out.Together with us were two students from Indonesia and the US. I’ve read about Salcedo Market in blogs and magazines and I really wanted to visit it. Mind you, I was not too interested in buying the produce but rather of the cooked food being sold - grilled fish cooked in front of you as well as fresh fruits and vegetables not found in local town markets. There were all sorts of cooked food sold - crepes, pasta, roasts and lechon. There was even sugar cane juice which was really light and sweet. I really didn’t buy any thing except something right there and then. But we spent lunch of barbecued pork and seafoods in one of the tables just for eating. It’s like having a picnic with friends in the middle of a bustling city.
