WHAT IS A WEEKEND MARKET?
Merchants of food cooked and raw gather in an area to share their specialties. Here, you can find food hobbyists, foodies with sidelines sharing their specialties, food businesses small and big, heirs of family recipes, makers of delicious treats, to harvesters of priced produce.
Weekend markets are a nice must-do alternative to theme parks or the mall when travelling because food are homemade and sometimes filled with lots of cultural influences.
In this case, Salcedo Community Market pops up in Salcedo Village, Makati City, Philippines and is only available only on Saturdays. For Directions, refer to the bottom of this post.
Add this to your "Makati food" or "Weekend in Manila" itinerary.

The location is a nice parking lot surrounded by big trees. Visiting the Salcedo Saturday Market is a treat alone because of this.
No funk
I noticed that the market did not have wreck of the foul smell of garbage. I found out that garbage cans are cleared out at certain schedules religiously. Nice job!

TIPS
A person just looking for a decent lunch on a Saturday need to prepare 100-200 PH Pesos.
Curious foodies might need to prepare at least 400 PH Pesos. Bring friends to share the portions and the cost so you can try more. 😊

This look similar to what we call the Farmer's Market in America. We have two in my city, I think, and they are always a great place to find super fresh foods!
ReplyDeleteNice to know. There have been more and more weekend markets popping up everywhere. :) Thanks for sharing Brandi!
DeleteI love markets like these! I sometimes hit these places up so that I can stock up on fruit and veg - it costs a touch more than those in the supermarket, but you get SO much fresher (and healthier!) goods!
