Saturday Food Trip!

On Saturday morning, my mom, sister, and I went to the Valero Market to food-trip! It has been a long time since I came down there but not much has changed - the smoke from inihaw na hito and lechon baka still filled the air... The place was packed with city folks who appreciate exotic food, rare veggies and meat, healthy alternatives, or deadly home-cooked entrees. The patrons are usually foreigners, call center employees, and people who live around the area. I noticed that the vendors are actually those that come from the coñotic breed. And even though they are clad in Lacoste or Ralph Lauren, amidst a raw market atmosphere, they're still what my sis called "hard-sell". Nonetheless, the goods they sell were exquisite and yummy! Milk products (yogurt, cottage cheese, kesong puti), baked goods (bagels, butter cake, canonigo, chocolate ice box), mediterranean goodies (hummus, rotti, samosa, curry) and so much more! Anyway, other products that caught my eye were "premature" duck eggs, wild eggplant that looked like green aratiles, and dragon fruit that came from Indonesia (It looks like a flamboyant makopa to me!). And so after our second round of scoping, we settled for a mediterranean feast. They have a convenient eating area in the park where there were tents, chairs, and tables set up for hungry folks like us. But our food trip didn't end there...

In the evening, the whole family went to good old Saisaki-Dads-Kamayan buffet! It was our last outing before Ate Jo and Pat leave... and why not do it over buffet huh? That's the Nuñez's for you. Nothing beats family bonding over food... I'll surely miss it when they leave (then again, maybe not - andito pa si Dad, Mom, and Apple! Hehehe!)! Okay, so came Sunday Morning. Just this morning. Here's the clincher. The Food trippers (mom, sis, and I) had diarrhea! Bwahahaha!
