Last Saturday, the family planned to have dinner in Kaptiolyo. To kill time, I decided to drop by the nearby new market in Mandaluyong area called Mandala Park.
I've once shared that the family has tried the Razon's in Liberty Center for Halo-Halo. But, we seem to have missed Mandala Park which is just beside it! It has Mandala Park signage and a green-filled fence.
Mandala Park is not just a food market. It's an open space that showcase locally sourced and crafted produce.
But, most of it are food stalls so it really draws us foodies.
There are also live bands.
As you can see, it's a great chill place.
I've yet to try having a Tarot Reading. But, as usual my budget is on for the food.
Food
 |
| Asiong's of Cavite |
 |
| Jonas Pop Up |
 |
| Gostoso |
Yes, their menu is on the floor and even the staffs had to bend down to check the pricing when customers were inquiring.
 |
| Commissaire |
 |
| Punta |
 |
| Scout's Honor (see our review here) |
 |
| Mister Delicious |
I shared our sandwich experience before, didn't know Mister Delicious now sells deli goods as well.
 |
| Wrapped |
 |
| Good Food Co. |
I got to try samples of the Fried Mushroom and Mushroom Rolls with their Mushroom Chili Sauce. It's really good! Too bad I was in a hurry otherwise, I would have bought some of their products for the family.
 |
| Ribs Manila |
I regret not trying this out. Perhaps, when I get to visit next time.
Other options that we've tried before are: Babci Kuchnia and Fog City.
Drinks
 |
| Pure Nectar by Fruit Magic |
 |
| Pedro Brew Crafters |
 |
| Bulletproof Coffee |
Other options that were there that we've tried before are Stanford & Shaw and Bayani Brew.
What I Had
 |
| Mac & Foie (755 php) |
I've heard a lot of raves about Le Petit Souffle's Mac & Foie so I just had to choose it among the rest. It was served in a big paper bowl. This is good for sharing! Compared to other mac and cheese I've tried, I would say this is the most luxurious one I've had. Within our family I am the only one fond of foie gras so I really thought I'd fall over heels with this one. It was just good for me but not extraordinarily so. I think I'd prefer the slightly cheaper Luxe Mac & Cheese over this.
 |
| Matcha and Mille Feuille (250 php) |
Being a fan of matcha, I just had to order the Matcha and Mille Feuille. This is the first time for me to try a mille feuille. I was expecting a mille feuille to be light, crispy and flaky puff pastry similar to a croissant. But, the Matcha and Mille Feuille was heavy and crunchy like a thin cracker. The matcha filling is good. It was rich but not too sweet.
Mandala Park has lots of tempting food options. I don't know what happened. Before I realized it, I found myself shelling out 1,005 php for this merienda. And, I've only tried one out of the many. I hope to try more next time.
