As I mentioned in my first post, Cucina Andare is not just food truck market, it also has a food bazaar with a mix of new and old food, drinks and pastry vendors.
Tents were setup for the food bazaar. I like the way it was organized because the isles were quite spacious and there was a good ventilation.
What I've Tried
As expected, there were some familiar food stalls which we've tried already like Carlo's Kitchen, Chef Resty's Roastbeef, Big Bob's Burgers, Merry Moo Ice Cream so you can just refer to our previous reviews. But, there were a lot of new comers too.

| P-Noy Wings (200 php/5 pieces) |
For those who prefer their chicken wings simple and crispy, you should try their P-Noy Wings. It's their original and default variant. The pinoy has a sweet, sour and salty flavor. Looks can be deceiving as it has a lot of ingredients blended in. I detect that there's a caramelized ingredient and kafir lime. The chicken skin is thin and crispy and not battered or floured which is nice. The chicken meat is so juicy too.

| Black Mamba Wings (200 php/5 pieces) |
Since I'm more into spicy stuff, I enjoyed the Black Mamba Wings more. The Black Mamba is a spicy and tangy wings coated in cocoa. I just love how the cocoa is able to tone down the spiciness a bit and make it quite addictive.

| Taclings (Facebook | Website) Taclings offers two kinds of bite-size tacos: Taco Beef and the Tuna Mushroom. I tried the Tuna Mushroom with the taco shell made with malunggay. It was pretty good since its easy to eat and complete with salsa and garlic sauce in very piece. You can really taste the malunggay in the tacos as the end taste that lingers on your mouth a bit. |
Petra & Pillar

| I got to sample the sausage offerings of Petra & Pillar. The flavors of the Salsiccia Di Roma, Chicken Curry and Schublig & Cheese were interesting. The sausage meat were tender, succulent and not too compact. |
Crack Pie (75 php)
I liked their Crack Pie. The sweetness and the saltiness is in perfect harmony. The texture is pleasurable and the thickness of the crust is just right.

Top Dog Gourmet Sausages makes their own sausage. I got to try their Country Sausage and loved it! Its filled with the right spices to tickle your taste buds in every bite. The consistency is superb too. I find their food quality at par with those sold by established gourmet shops.

The Chicken BBQ at Paj Grill is tender and juicy. I find their barbecue sauce a bit more on the honey-sweet side.

My family loves paella. I was thinking of buying some for take out but the idea of the crowded public transportation took me aback. So all I could do is wish I could have a chance to try Casa Goñi's paellas next time. I'd go for the Wagyu Paella and their Paella Negra.

If you've been following our blog, you would probably know that we've been to a lot of food markets around the metro. But, there's none like Cucina Andare, the very first food truck market in the Philippines.
Cucina Andare is not just purely food trucks because it also has a food bazaar in between the food trucks. I've divided my post in two parts. For this post, I'll focus on the food trucks.
Food Trucks
Shawarma Bros
Shawarma Bros promises to bring you a different shawarma exprience through their shawarma plate meals. I find their orange and yellow truck to be eye catching especially with their easily visible menu matched with product pictures and big and bold wordings. Their LCD screen featuring their meals is also a creative way to familiarize curious passersby about their offerings.
The Beef Shawarma Plate is a generous serving of beef shawarma strips with garlic yogurt, hot sauce and a cup of biryani rice. (The Biryani rice was temporary unavailable since it was only their first day). I totally get why this is their best seller. The beef shawarma is so tender and succulent that chewing on them is such a pleasure. I highly recommend this!
Guactruck offers Filipino-mexican options that will surely win over your taste buds. I loved their see-through glass concept that allows you to watch their neat food preparation environment.
I had the Mini Soft Taco while my friend Jonel Uy of Nomnomclub has Mini Taco. He was delighted to find two mini crispy-shelled tacos with ground meat, tomatoes and corn.
Guactruck's Mini Soft Taco had soft yet chunky bits of tasty and saucy meat with chopped greens and salsa. It was a great mix of textures and flavors. I enjoyed it to the last bite.
Its cool that they've included Vegetarian Tacos in their menu. I look forward to trying more of their offerings in the future.
Mio Gelati
I've tried Mio Gelati's Mochilato in Madison Square before and loved it! But, I've yet to try their gelatos so seeing there truck filled me with excitement.
I ordered the Mint Truffle while my friend tried their best-selling Pistachio gelato. Upon first bite, we both agreed that the Mint Truffle is delicious! The truffle was bitter-sweet with the coolness of minty subtleties. On the other hand, the Pistachio was too light and delivered nothing special.
Q Kebab
The Chicken Shawarma is served with garlic yogurt and hot sauce. It's a bountiful shawarma with chicken, greens, onions and tomato bits. This is the perfect bang for the buck meal especially for those who are looking for something to eat on the go.
If you're looking for rice meals, they also have rice bowls.
Hungry Rover
The Hungry Rover is one of the newest food trucks in town. The Hungry Rover offers a wide range of food options but their US Beef Tapa is their best selling product. Aside from participating at the food truck market, they also cater to private events so contact them at (0917) 508-3346 if you're interested.
What sets the Hungry Rover apart from other food trucks is that you could actually dine inside their truck which is pretty cool and cozy! But, take note that it can only accommodate eight dinners at a time.
The window side is good if you want to take a souvenir photo from the outside. But, the more comfty seats are the ones in the middle.
Dining at the Hungry Rover is a cool experience you shouldn't miss out on. Since I love beef tapas, I'll try their US Beef Tapa on my next visit.
Brothers Burger
Apart from their numerous branches, Brothers Burgers also has a food truck. Brothers Burgers is one of my favorite burger chains. I'd normally recommend their Angus Beef Burger and Brothers Lamb Burger but their half pound Big Brothers Burger is also good especially when at 50% OFF. =D
What I love about Brothers Burger is their soft and moist oatmeal buns and their wholesome and tender flame-grilled patties.
Mexikombi
Just when I was going to call it a night because of my exploding tummy, we spotted the super cute red Mexikombi retro mini van. It's super cool with a pop open top. I sure hope I can try it out next time. By the way, can spot the difference between the van front and the miniature van print by the door aside from the mexican hat? =p
I also missed out on trying another truck called Chef Broosy (Facebook) that offers Filipino and Japanese fusion dishes. Any suggestions on which of their dish I should try out on my come back?

Q Kebab's Chicken Shawarma is 10 inch long so I'd consider it a hefty meal in itself. To be honest, I couldn't finish it myself so I shared it with Jonel and Alex of lafanggero.blogspot.com.

| US Beef Kofta Sliders (110 php) |
A serving of the US Beef Kofta Sliders contains two sliders and crunchy potato chips. Since Koftas are of Middle Eastern influence, these patties are more tasty that usual. These sliders also contains greens, tomatoes and oozing cheese sauce.
