I can’t believe that my last feature on the Salcedo weekend market was in the latter part of 2008. I usually update the Salcedo market every year. Using my iPhone camera (sorry for low quality photos), I explored Salcedo Market once again on this bright saturday morning. Salcedo Market is a haven for a semi-vegetarian like me and though I didn’t expect to find anything spectacular, it’s quite a feast to see variety of dishes.
I notice some stalls are still around: the crepes, the french cuisine, the sauces, the lechon.
First thing I buy is organic chunky peanut butter for 170 pesos ( or was it 180 pesos). Peanut butter is a favorite with my two girls. My nutritionist often tells me to snack my bread with peanut butter so this is a first in my list.
Pasta sauces or dips is always a favorite. I got the labahita and quesong puti sauces after getting a taste.

After our family photoshoot with Mimi and Karl, my sister and I got so hungry that we insisted on having dinner out. We ended up at My Thai Kitchen at Eastwood because of its proximity to the parking lot, and because I’m really excited about my upcoming trip to Bangkok this summer. I know I’ll probably be sick of Thai food by then, but I just wanted to have a little taste of it while the trip is still far away.
My mom ordered the Shrimp and Pomelo Salad (P155), but all of us ended up splitting it because of our hunger. I love the vinagrette dressing that came with it.

When I was in high school and Market! Market! was still a new mall, I used to drag my parents to Oody’s for Thai food. Their affordable prices (around P150-200 per person), fast service, and excellent food made Oody’s one of my favorite restaurants of all time, and I was brokenhearted to learn that the one at Market! Market! closed down for some reason. It’s been years since I last ate at Oody’s and while I always passed by the one at Greenbelt 3, I never had the chance to go in and revisit it. Last Saturday, however, my boyfriend and I finally got around to dining at Oody’s, thanks to a movie screening time that gave us a couple of hours to kill at Greenbelt.
The Oody’s I used to know was very simple, low-key, almost fast food-like in its appearance. Although well decorated, you can tell by the quality of the seats and their proximity to each other that the place was meant for cheap and quick eating. The new Oody’s, on the other hand, has more upscale interiors and spacious tables that invite diners to stay and linger even after their meals have been consumed. I like how the new Oody’s looks, and I wonder if the taste and price of the food matched the restaurant’s classy, laid-back atmosphere.
