The One About Mezza Norte

Last Friday, Hon-some and I checked out Mezza Norte in its newest location in Trinoma.  We arrived really early; they had just opened up and some stalls were still being set up.

We saw the Philly Cheesesteak truck.  Didn't have that in their former site.

We were eager to try it out so we bought one to share.

It was overpriced, poorly constructed, and bland!!!  Hon-some said he's tasted better ones.

The paella was much better than the sandwich.  

But this tuyo pasta from another stall (I forget which one) was the bomb!!!  It was so good!

We got all our food for takeout because the weather was humid and we wanted to chow all the food down at home.  I'm already thinking of what to eat next time!  I saw these really good-looking hotdogs and I also want to try the Taiwanese chicken chops.  Plus, I've missed Merry Moo's salted caramel ice cream!

How I ramble when the topic is food!  Check the place out! :)

Weekend Tidbits: Mezza Norte

After three weekends of rainy day blues, the sun finally lent its rays last weekend allowing Hon-some and I (with both of our families in tow) to finally visit Mezza Norte at the Ayala TechnoHub.  Mezza Norte is spearheaded by the same organizers of Mercato Centrale and Midnight Mercato at the Fort.

It was a good thing we came pretty early.  The tables at the eating area were being occupied real fast and lines have started to form at certain food booths.  

Choosing what to eat at Mezza Norte can be overwhelming, what with the varied options.  There were lots of grilled stuff, burgers, sausages, chicken, shabu-shabu hotpot, and desserts to choose from.  Upon my dad's recommendation, I tried Dadi's Berd...

This is a really, really, really good grilled chicken.  Upon ordering, I was asked if I wanted my bird to be angry which meant did I want my chicken to be spicy.  I loved how the spiciness was remarkably infused into the chicken.

I noticed some people carrying egg cartons with interesting munchies placed in them.  So I sniffed around and found Tacling's...

Mini taco cups in egg cartons.



Tacling's offers beef taco cups...


 
...And a tuna and mushroom mix in malunggay taco cups!

I knew I had to leave room for dessert and it was wise of me to have done so...

 

Merry Moo's Sea Salt Caramel just hit the spot!

Hon-some and I can't wait to go back to try the other gustatory delights!  The weekend that was...and what a weekend it was!
