My First BGC Adventure


Gourmand Market

Gourmand Market
A pleasant and lively experience from the creative minds of Trish Panlilio of NawwTy's Kitchen and Dara Roa, known as Collab Contessa. Thanks to them for bringing something like Borough market in London to the Philippines! 

I enjoyed the place – very bright and cheerful ang atmosphere. Kaya hindi namen mapigilang mag-‘selfie.’ Let me take this as an opportunity na rin to introduce my TBOTD (Travel buddies of the day)!

Nahihiya pa sila magpakita nang mga mukha. 
Wait lang daw.

Meet the Bellas. Flor and Ruby. They were college super friends. In what year? That's I don't know. Pero looking young and happy pa rin. Look at them! Aren't they pretty?

Ruby.
Wearing her two month old tangerine blouse, you can easily tell how urbane she is. A woman of class and sophistication.

Flor.
Catchy laces in her blouse is a glimpse of her sunny personality. She loves to laugh and her energy doesn’t seem to drain!

For the record, eto ang first picture namen together. :)

The place is so gorgeous. Pang-Facebook at Instagram! Also,  you might find something you love in the place. Vendors were selling everything from organic produce, to artisanal food and beverages, to plants and home decor.

I loved it and one thing now is certain: I shall return! :)

Visiting Gourmand market was actually never part of the plan. It just happened that it was there and we felt very blessed to experience the fun. Anyways, pupunta talaga kame sa the first ever branch ng Applebee’s grill and bar restaurant in the Philippines! Located at W Global Center in Bonifacio Global city,  we were very excited to experience the savory, value-for-money dishes from the US.

Pagdating namen sa location, napa-“Teka, baket parang nag-aayos pa ang mga kuya?” kame.
“Hindi pa po kame open, mam.” One of the staffs said as he opened the door for us and invited us to come inside. Akala ko ba hindi pa bukas, eh paano kame nakapasok?


Nalungkot kame na sa September 16 pa raw ang opening ng resto nila. Ayun kase talaga ang sinadya namen sa BGC. Pero infairness, very accomodating ang mga tao dun. Lalo na si Mr. Roger, ang General Manager, na super smile all the time sa amin habang nagpapaliwanag. Todo kinig naman sila Ruby and Flor kaya I took the opportunity to take ‘selfies.’

Inside the restaurant is relaxing.
Malakas ng hangin sa loob.

Isn't it amazing?
“Bago pa tayo paalisin eh umalis na tayo.”
Bye Applebee’s.
