Midnight Mercato

 

It was almost midnight and still I could not stop thinking about food.

 

How fortunate that it was also Midnight Mercato’s opening night

 

The place was packed.

 

Indoor area

 

Outdoor area

 

Spotted Rajo Laurel, Tessa Prieto-Valdez, Angel Aquino, and Pam of What We Wore with her husband John. I wanted to kick myself for forgetting to take a photo of Pam and what she wore.

 

But I did remember to take photos of what I ate.

 

Sausage King’s…

 

Bratwurst on wheat bread – okay lah

 

Veccitto’s and Lola Diding’s…

 

Tokwa Special – tokwa too firm and the sauce too acidic

 

Beurre’s…

 

Claypot Chicken Rice

 

Great concept but not quite there yet

 

Margarita’s Paella’s…

 

Paella Negra – yummy!

 

Will try her Valenciana next time

 

And my favorite of all, Resty’s Roast Beef Carving Station’s…

 

Roast beef sandwich – this is excellent! The meat is super tender, rich and flavorful.

 

Their roast beef is one of the best I’ve had in Manila. 
I’d go back to Midnight Mercato just for this.

 

They also have chicken but I don’t know how it fares

 

Washed down the gluttony with BBQ Pitt’s iced tea. Vendor said it’s freshly brewed.

 

I thought I spotted aliens, too (he he)

 

My take home goodies: Nutsylicious’ pistachios, dried figs and walnuts
