Sabroso Sunday Food Market

I got this photo at their official FB page

It was the second day of the Sabroso Sunday Food Market when I decided to visit the event at Yellow Hauz last April 22. It was already past 6 in the evening when I arrived at the area with my sisters in tow. I intended to go there for the Calamansi Muffins but they were already sold out. We didn't leave empty-handed, though, because there were still some blue velvet muffins and another variant that we bought which satisfied my sister's sweet tooth. These muffins were baked by Zhaun.

The Sabroso Sunday Food Market was not limited to food alone. I actually ended up buying four different kinds of herb seedlings: three of which are different types of basil (my current favorite herb of the season) and a japanese spearmint to replace the one I got last year which unfortunately died.

I did not expect to see Richie of "Some Ribs" to be there at the Sabroso Sunday Food Market. My sisters and I decided that we'll have our dinner courtesy of Some Ribs. We ordered each of what's in their menu: Baby Back Ribs, Chicken Fillet, and Fish Fillet. Each meal costs P90, with rice, and side dish. 

Some Ribs surprised me with how tender and delicious the Baby Back Ribs were. The Chicken and Fish were both tender, too, and cooked to perfection! All three dishes were delicious! I'd have to give them two thumbs up for the delicious dinner at such reasonable prices! The side dish was not the kind that you would snob. I had a sparkling clean plate after dinner! 

Since the Sabroso Sunday Food Market is a temporary place for entrepreneurs, they would naturally serve their food in disposable utensils. I'm just thankful that Some Ribs had some sturdy plastic spoons and forks that did not give up on the Baby Back Ribs. Although the meat was tender, you can just imagine the powerlessness of plastic against meat. I'm glad that our spoons and forks did not break and it survived all throughout our dinner. I'm sure that whoever provided them with their wholesale catering supplies would be a great recommendation for parties and events.

I did not see drinks on Some Ribs' Menu so my sisters ordered Milk Tea from Yellow Hauz. Their instant favorite that night was Wintermelon with Coffee Jelly. It's going to be another Sunday for the Sabroso Food Market in two days. I'll see if I can visit them again.

Amihan sa Dahican April Events

Today (April 4, 2012) is officially the start of Amihan sa Dahican's April Events which include competitions for skimboarding, surfing, frisbee, and beach volleyball, among others. I've heard that there will be a fun run and triathlon activities, too. This is in line with the celebration of Amihan sa Dahican's Founding Anniversary and will go on until April 9, 2012.

A lot of locals, Filipinos, and foreigners would surely flock in Amihan sa Dahican. Translation services wouldn't be a problem because the locals can speak and understand English. Here's a photo below with dad and our new friend, Jeremy, who is an American spending his vacation with his family at Dahican, Mati City:

My sister Mary Grace was the first to befriend Jeremy and it was funny because my sister doesn't speak english. But alas, Jeremy speaks our local Bisaya dialect and translation wasn't really that hard. It was another story when Grace tried to talk to Jeremy's kids. Aside from Jeremy, we also met Philip, a German who has been staying in Amihan for almost a month already and he will probably continue to enjoy the Dahican waves until May. 

If you're looking for a good place to spend your summer vacation, why not try Amihan sa Dahican in Mati City? I promise that it will be a very great experience for everybody. Just be prepared to bask in the sun, enjoy the waves and sand, and live simply and humbly.
