The Burger edition

Johnny Rockets

This place is probably the most overrated place..ever! It's a franchise from a famous US burger chain. They got everything. From the jukebox, dancing crew, the b&w tiles, the famous malt shake, the diner feel, etc. I just think that paying Php 500 for that meal wasn't worth it. I could get that taste from Wham burger, brother's burger or even burger avenue. It doesn't have that lingering taste which will make you come back again and again.

Sango!

This unassuming (healthy) burger place in Rockwell is an experience. There's manga magazine which you can browse while waiting for your order. The TV plays a japanese show, they even show japs commercials which are quite funny. Prices range from Php250-350.

Monster's quarter pounder burger, blueberry yogurt shake, chicken empanada....from Legazpi Sunday market. All these three for only Php150. Perfect! Legazpi market is becoming a weekly thing. After a few rounds of jogging at Legazpi park, we would head to the sunday market for breakfast. It's a must to try new everytime. I had wagyu shawarma this morning for only Php180. The yogurt shake has become a staple every sunday though. :))

What burger place should I try next?

Where have I been eating?

One of the things I love about Makati are the weekend markets: the Salcedo Saturday market and the Legazpi Sunday market. The Makati weekend market is a hodgepodge of dishes from different countries, desserts, snacks, plants, and just about anything. (The weekend "market" is actually in a parking lot which is closed on weekends.) I used to go with my officemates from my previous work to the Salcedo Saturday market because it's just walking distance from our office. We would have breakfast there and buy herbal breads and desserts. Since I've transferred to FM, I've never been back to Salcedo market. I recently learned from a friend that there's also a Sunday market in Legazpi Village which is the same with what is seen in Salcedo. You could just imagine my delight. So I dragged my cousin there last Sunday even if its unusual for her to wake up early on a Sunday morn. We were quite early, so we roamed around the parks nearby. (Will post pictures later) The walking worked up our appetite so we were ready to eat anything we could get our hands on. Here are some of my fave:

They let us taste their products and I gotta say their cakes are so delicious. Their best seller is the lemon meringue which we bought. I ♥ personal chef manila!

This is the old froyo's. They changed the name to Dave's. I'm a yoghurt lover, and this is the kind of yoghurt that I like. It has a tangy and sour taste to it.

I just can't get enough of apple pie.

Sapore Vero's olive oil is very cheap as compared to those in the groceries.

We also bought rosemary powder, cinnamon and curry powder.

I first tasted baklava when my Tita went home from vacay in Saudi Arabia. There are also other Arabian desserts sold here such as sobyet with semolina cream and other variants of the baklava.

These are also other foods that you can find in the Legazpi market:

There are also huge burgers, authentic French crepes, longganisa (which is so yummy, by the way), Monteqilla pasta (a fave from Salcedo market! So happy to see them in Legazpi), pica-pica, native products, etc.

I wish I have taken more photos but I was just distracted with the smell and the foods around me. Lol. Went there again this morning, it's just the perfect way to start the Sunday before heading off to church! :-))
