Hello #MarketFriday Lovers,
For this week's #MarketFriday I'll take you to the nearest mall from our house. Also I'll introduce to you our cherished Filipino food.
We went to Robinson's Department Store to buy my husband's suit for a convention which we will attend next week, and for his socks too.
He has been trying on different suits, looking for the shorter arm length ones. Fortunately, this brand which specializes "barong," the national costume of the Philippines, makes suits with Filipino sizes.
And this is the one he got!
To our delight we also saw for the first time his favorite brand of socks--Bally. We have been looking all over our city but we could never find this one. How blessed we are that this mall now have this!
Because my husband was happy to find his suit, he treated us for dinner. Hahaha!
He wants food which are cooked the way they cooked. So Bagnet and Beyond is his choice--a restaurant which offers food from the north of the country.
Bagnet is a dish which is a boiled, air-dried, and then deep-fried crispy pork belly. This dish originated from Ilocos but is now considered as a top favorite among Filipinos.
This time we tried a set for four persons.
The set includes sizzling bagnet, binagoongang bagnet (bagnet in fermented fish sauce), poqui poqui (egg and eggplant dish), four cups of rice, four soups, and four iced tea for only P685 (13.30 USD).
We thought it wasn't enough so we ordered two extra rice and two empanada. But we couldn't finish the latter so we took it out with us. Their set is sufficient for everyone.
Everything was perfectly done, I forgot all about my diet.
So, this has been my #MarketFriday by the amazingly kind Denise @dswigle.
Thank you for taking the timeh to be with me on this #MarketFriday.
Much thanks,
Ging
