Salcedo Market is one of my favorite places here in Metro Manila. This
is my happy place where I can find peace and reflect on my life. This market
reminds me of a time, when I went to a French Sunday Market in the South of
France. It was just a memorable experience for me since I got to feel
like I was French and enjoyed shopping random stuff. You will have a
feeling of like you are in Europe, once you are in Salcedo Market.
Salcedo Community Market is not just your ordinary weekend market like
Mercato, Mezza Norte or even Banchetto. The concessionaires here sell stuff
that is really out of the box. The concessionaires here have been selling
goods since the year 2004 and the shoppers here are usually the ones who
are living in the neighborhood of Salcedo Village. Whenever I go here I
feel like I’m in another place since the shoppers and the vendors here are
Europeans. This weekend market sells different types of produce like
fresh meat, poultry, bread, pasties, sausages, shawarma, icecream,
spices, organic products, wine, fresh fruits ,homemade yogurt, and many
other delicacies from different parts of the world.
I have been going to Salcedo Market every Saturday for the past six
months. My goal was to try all the food which is sold at this market.
Some of the food here are quite pricey and are not worth the
money. I will give you my top 3 best bargains which can only be bought at this
flea market.
You must try this crepe place @ Gigi La Crepe
&Gallette which is owned by a French national, Gilbert
Rault. This is the only crepe place in Manila where you can taste authentic
French Crepe and Galette . Since most of the crepe in the metro is quite
sweet, and has ice cream on top of it, but the real French Crepe tastes salty
and is served with gruyere cheese. I must say that this is worth your
money. Crepes here would cost about P50 to P90 depends upon the flavor. While
their Galette would cost you about P100 to P250. They even
offer catering and delivery services for a minimum order of P1000.
You can
also try the Lechon Baka @ Wholly Cow which
is located beside the crepe place . This is the favorite food of my guy
friends. Whenever I go to Salcedo Market, my guy friends will usually order 1
kilo of Lechon Baka and order rice and share it among them. They always
order Lechon Baka almost every week for the past six months. I must say
it’s really good. It’s only P210 for ¼ kilo with
rice. 1 Kilo of Lechon Baka is worth P800 which
can be shared with 4 to 5 persons. I suggest that you go to Salcedo
Market at an earlier time to order this since it’s usually sold out in the
afternoon.
Lastly. you must also try their this Italian Pizza @ Pizza
Di Grazzia, which is located at the left most corner of Salcedo Market
which is in front of the Jaime Velasquez Park. This Charcoal- baked
authentic thin-crust Italian Pizza is truly worth the money because the pizza
tasted like the ones I’ve eaten in Italy. Their ingredients are
ingredients used in the pizza are fresh and cheese is really good. I
think that the secret to their good pizza is because they cook it in charcoal.
A medium size pizza would cost you about P200 ,
while a large pizza would cost you P350.
