Food Trucks @ Capitol Commons

December 28, 2013

How to get there:

From Trinoma, ride the MRT then alight at Shaw Blvd. station, Shangri-La side. Walk until you  find a jeep bound for Pasig Palengke. Ride that jeep and alight at the rotunda. It's near the Ynares arena. You could also have a picnic at Capitol Commons.

Food Trucks

There were *I think* 10 food trucks. I couldn't remember all of the trucks but I'll name some of the products I've tried. Some trucks not tried were: Made in Pares, Truck Bun, and  Amazing Cones.

Cheese Steak Shop

I didn't get to take a picture of my 5" sandwich because I was excited to take a bite from it. I'm not sure how Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches should taste like, but for me it was okay. The good thing here is that despite of the 5" size, there was an abundant amount of beef, cheese and grilled onions inside. I guess I should've asked for the cheese sauce. Price: 200++php

Mio Gelati

At 160php for a cup of 2 kinds of ice cream (mint truffle and salted caramel), I loved it! Kudos to the person who served us for being patient and polite even when 2 foreigner girls took forever to make up their minds on which flavor to get.

Shawarma Bros

I've tried their beef shawarma rice before at Cucina Andare. This time around, we got their chicken wrap and beef wrap. It was a bit salty this time but  I still liked it. If you're not fond of cumin or those other spices used in Indian cooking, maybe you'll get to like them once you've tasted this. Price: 100++php each wrap

I Have 2 Eggs

We got 2pcs. pancakes with Mangoes on top with cookie butter spread and chocolate waffle (2 plate-size pieces with chocolate syrup). It was quite presentable. Usual pancakes. Chewy waffles. Price for both: 320 php

Mexicombi

We got a plate of their nachos at 100php. Typical nachos. Great for beer. Loved their van.

Jasper's HOC

This shop was what irritated me most. I ordered their "Chicken Karaage" worth 95 pesos a cup. I'm estimating it the same size as that of the cup used by Mio Gelati, only to find out that it was just fried chicken skin! It was not even crispy! It's also poorly seasoned. The only good thing that I could mention is that the oil used was not rancid. Please name the product accordingly. "Chicken Karaage" was too misleading.

Beerology

We tried all their available beers. Pricey but none of the bitter taste. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I could get used to these beers.

So there you have it. I wish they could offer foods like the food trucks featured on TV.
