I've been wanting to go to Mercato since last year, i have a thing on trying out cool places, specially pag pagkain ang usapan! Besides the uniqueness of the food they sell, maraming cool na tao pumupunta don, though wala naman akong pakialam don dahil pagkain nga yung gusto kong makita don... ok fine, sige, gusto ko rin maging Cool! and Cool nako kase 2 wks na kame bumabalik don ni Mark!... it took forever until finally February 18, 2011 at exactly 11pm, Mark and I tried our 1st taste of Mercato Centrale @BCG tent. I also have a business meeting with my good friend and college barkada Yeye. I just came from a meeting at Centris with my batchmate and photobooth/ souvenir sponsor Doreen.

So we entered the tent. uhm ok, parang unang booth palang gusto na nameng bumili, in fact if you're there, lahat ata ng booth gusto mong bilhan...pero control..control..thanks to hubby because he always is in command pag food na, he goes "ikot muna tayo let's check the other booth's". Ang daming tao, i wanted to take pictures sana..... oh my goodness, they have unique foods nga, eto yung mga food na di mo makikita elsewhere. Sa mga bazaar's lang or they only have a facebook page or a website but not an establishment(for some). That's why it's good to actually travel from Quezon City to the Fort just to see this midnight Mercato Centrale. Twas worth it! nagkalat ang mga hungarian, schublig sauages, if you to the grill station or the other tent, naglipana ang mga bbq, pusit, isawand burgers. It's hard to pick which food to eat, because everything you see and smell looks really good! So we tried the sausage muna, shempre yung iba pang nextweek naman! Mark had a sandwhich sausage...i also did, but because i don't eat bread...no, not on stick...with rice! hahahahaha!

 Since we loved our first encounter, Mark said, we'll go back next week and try naman something else... February 25, 2011, Friday at 11pm...

Surprised to see many people...more than lastweek..and there are kids din, kse wala atang classes... the 1st booth is a dessert, yay, brazo... sabi namen we'll go back for it, kse Mark says i should go around muna to check..but i immediately told him i have to get a dessert muna kse last week, nasarduhan na kme ng dessert. so this time, its operation dessert muna haha...

Baked by Anita.... we had two flavors, but i wasn't able to take a picture, i forgot my camera, my camera phone naman walang flash.... we also tried the one Chocolate with cherry, yummy, fudgy *pictures courtesy of Baked by Anita facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/BakedbyAnita

Why do i like the minicupcakes by Anita? because, its not too big, its a bite size, di nakakasawa, and if you feel like you can't eat anymore, you can stop, kse the bigger ones, parang minsan 3 bites lang ayaw mo na sayang may natira pa, this one hindi! this is a good buy :), last week na daw nila eh, but they gave us their website if we want to order :)



Best seller: Chocolate Chip
it's really good, crunchy, chewy and yummy! 30 plus bucks/pesos per mini-cupcake
