Weekend food fest in Mercato Centrale @ BGC

PB211483
Here's my photo coverage when I visited the grand launch of Mercato Centrale @ BGC, located near Bonifacio High Street in Global City, Taguig. This was last Sunday and the weekend market was well attended by people who love to eat, shop and try new food. Mercato Centrale @ BGC will not end in one Sunday only, The organizers told me that the next Mercato Centrale will start every Saturday and Sunday, me and my family will be there this Saturday and my wife is very excited to go there and have a mini picnic and food fest, trying new food and eat it, and meet new vendors is a new experience for us. Good part here is that entrance is free and some tent has aircon, they also have lots of tables and chairs at the dining area.

Meeting the vendors and hear how they introduce the food is nice and it will add new knowledge about the food we eat, there are organics and healthy food, there are some barbeques, pasta, sandwich, meat, veggies, fruits and even restaurant owners cook new recipes that are only exclusive here in Mercato Centrale @ BGC, it is a special place and I will go back.
