This is my favorite part of Market! Market!...the Fiesta Market where delicacies from different provinces are being sold. When I'm craving for ibos (sticky rice wrapped in coconut leaves and cooked in coconut milk), there's no need to call an aunt in Bacolod to request a dozen ibos to be sent airport to airport. Pili nuts from Bicol, native coffee from Bukidnon, piyaya from Bacolod, sukang iloco from Ilocos, tinapa from Bataan, danggit from Cebu and many more---you can find them all here. I went to Fiesta Market yesterday looking for a bottle of sinamak, an Ilonggo sauce of fermented coconut vinegar with red chili peppers, ginger and garlic. I found the sinamak and went home with a shopping bag full of goodies---all fattening!

Wow! So pinoy! I love the native delicacies! Yummy!
Fiesta Market is a place we like to visit. So many things to see and so much to learn.
I hope they have strawberry cider vinegar which I am currently looking for. A blogger friend was not able to find this is Baguio where its supposed to be sold. Our bottle content is slowly dwindling.
Piaya is a personal favorite :)
oh...i love that kind market also :D
My WS entry this week : in HERE. Hope you have time to visit . Thanks

Hi Luna! Happy New Year! Believe it or not, I've never been to Market Market, Tiendesitas is nearer kase, hehe.
A Simple Life
hi, EastCoastLife! yes, Market! Market! is in Metro Manila...in Global City to be exact, about 15 minutes from the Makati Business District. hope you could visit!:D
i'm lucky, Liza...from work, Tiendesitas is nearer, from where i live, Market! Market! is about 10 minutes away. happy new year!
i'm also a suki of the bicolandia stall, cookie.:D love the pili tarts!
this place look familiar. i might have stepped into it in one of my trips to manila. Beautiful lanterns up there.
hello, Kero! i've seen some espasol there but no palitaw. check out Via Mare's palitaw...it's just across the street from Market!Market!
thanks for visiting, Juliana.
there's a stall there selling local wines...didn't notice a strawberry cider vinegar though. check it out one weekend, Julie.

One of the many places I wanted to visit when I get home...Samahan mo ko ha? :D
Foodie paradise indeed!
Wow! Colorful. HNY!
Market!Market! is really a standout on that side of the metro. Love your pics!
Market Market is indeed a perfect place to get all sorts of goodies from different regions of the country. When we want to buy something for a balikbayan friend or relative, that's where we go.
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I have wonderful memories of the old Antonio's but I like the new one as well. The renovated area is perfect because more people can enjoy the place even when the weather is not cooperative.
I wish I had the chance to stop by that place the last time I was in Manila. Sigh. So many places to go to but so little time. Naks! :D
Thanks for sharing such great info and pics! :)
i should return there..haven't been there for a long time na:) Sinamak is already available in our groceries here but i'd like to get the ibos and pili nuts.
ay naku!!! why doesn't my mom bring me to market market?!! i think next time, I'll nag her to bring me there! thanks Luna for the info!
I went here once to shop for the different varieties of mountain rice. Nice place, and I think I should return sometime soon ;)
