Market Love: For the Love of Food, Vintage, Creativity, and Bargains

I’ve always been a fan of the show Flea Market Flip. More than the thrill of a good bargain, I always fancy how they turn things around: old to new, useless to purposeful, trash to treasure, ugly to beautiful, rusty to sassy.

The place was okay. The prices were very cheap. I bought the tapsilog for P48. Prices range from P28 to P60. They also serve arroz caldo and cook instant pancit canton.

The only complaint I had is the rice which is fried rice but the kind of fried rice that is your rice the other day recycled into fried rice for today.

Day 3, Luna’s Arroz Caldo which is also open 24 hours.

I bought the tapsilog for P65. They also serve other -silog meals, arroz caldo and sandwiches. It’s okay.

I wonder why the servings for tapa is so little, at least that’s what I think. But anyways, I realize they are just enough for me.
