Salcedo Market

my lolo wanted to visit salcedo market for the longest time. i'm glad i was able to bring him there today together with friends and of course my nephew, sepi and yaya :) we were there early...atat eh :p we were there at around 6:30 a.m and most of the vendors were still preparing their wares.

anyway first stop: himalayan salt booth. i was looking for this eversince i've read it in ms jenni epperson's blog. it is one of the purest salts available for culinary, therapeutic and cosmetic use. this salt is hand mined from the pristine himalayan mountain. the benefits are endless but i heard that it's good remedy for cough and is a great way to remove toxins from the body.

love pink himalayan salt - P190 per jar

we loved all the food stalls in the market for most of them can't be seen in malls. lolo liked seeing native food like tamales, suman, bibingka and enjoyed talking to one of the vendors from pampanga (yes, we are from pampanga :)

hmmm...curious about this fried pancit siopao :)

after roaming around, we decided to buy food for breakfast :)

lumpia sariwa - with grated green papaya P65 each

homemade ham sandwich - P90

lasagna

ordered forest ham and farm cheese french sandwich from this stall. super nice owners - both are french. sanwiches range from P130-P160

shwarma - P190

dimsum - 5pcs for P70

we were so full! everything was delicious.

while we were eating, sepi enjoyed playing the park's playground.

i think lolo enjoyed because he told my friend jane that he would love to go there every saturday (salcedo market is only open on saturdays, 7am to 2pm). well, let's see. if i'm not too busy, we might do this again soon :)

* bring smaller bills when you go there in the morning (as early as we did) as most of the vendors don't have "panukli" yet if it's really early.
