Banchetto is an event here in the Philippines that they closed a street and sells a variety of food for people. The 1st time that I went to a Banchetto is in Ortigas last two years ago and the food that I've bought on that event is a persian food called "Shawarma" this food is very delicious; they stuffed it with meat and vegetable. Last month I tried to visit Banchetto in Ortigas and feel to environment; sadly the event was moved to another place.
Yesterday we went to Banchetto in Pioneer (that is located in Mandaluyong City Philippines). I called it as a "Banchetto at Forums" The first thing that I recognized on the place is the crowd; people working from BPO industry like call center agents, technical support, back office peoples (from companies like Accenture, SITEL Philippines, West Business Services, US Autoparts, and Global Payment), and other workers that are not working on the said industry the same thing when you go in Ortigas before.
The place is small compared in Ortigas; in Ortigas they closed half of the Emerald Avenue every friday night from 12 midnight until ten in the morning; that would be saturday morning compared in Mandaluyong a small parking lot was alloted to the event. Of course Banchetto is all about FOOD!!
The signatures like the monster burger, Shawarma, fruit shakes, the Dynamite (Green Pepper wrapped in Lumpia wrapper; stuffed with ground beef and cheese), and Blueberry Cheesecake.
One thing that I find that is interesting on the event is the booth of the cute Koreans. They served their Korean delicacies to the crowd. What I like most is their Korean Bread.
This bread is HUGE! Larger than my palm. Gosh! For 40 pesos you can buy this bread. Not bad because it is stuffed with Starberry Jam, Peanut Butter, some whipped cream, and this is an oven baked. The other one that is so good is the Oranged Empenada. This food was stuffed with egg, Longanisa, and Papaya. For 50 pesos you can have also this food. Other than that the place is wonderful you can view the Robinson's Cybergate One, Two, and Three which is owned by Robinson's group.
Other than that there is also a condominium that is for sale. In that area you can see the Robinson's Pioneer; a shopping mall owned and operated by Robinson's group. A very strategic place if you are an urban individual.
I have a good time especially my tummy; have not eaten the whole day today because of the Korean Bread that is AWESOME!! The next stop would be Banchetto in Libis. That would be every tuesday from nine pm to four in the morning.
