Organic Market at McKinley Hill

Today I visited two weekend markets, one is the Organic Market, which set up shop behind One World Square at McKinley Hill, Taguig City. The other, the famous Salcedo Market in Salcedo Park, Salcedo Village, Makati (whew, too many Salcedos). Being a shopaholic, I love going to weekend markets and exploring the sights, sounds and smells of buyers from different walks of life, all looking for elusive bargain finds. Allow me to start with the Organic Market.

My husband bought a kilo of cooked crab from the Organic Market yesterday and was excited to bring it home. He’s allergic to crabs and I don’t really know what the excitement was all about but after cooking it, I realized why he was so happy. It was a good buy for P300.00 (US$7.30). This prompted me to pay it a visit. 

Inside the tents, there were not that many vendors, but the goods sold were worth the visit. I enjoyed visiting their vegetable section and got some really nice kamote.

There were also the kakanin ladies, who sold really good ube halaya, cassava cakes pinipig biko and sapin-sapin. 

They also have food-to-go. 

Since this market will open again from March 6 to 9, I highly recommend those living near the area to visit this market inside McKinley Hill.  

Items here are not expensive and can be enjoyed by everyone, even those on a meager budget. Don’t be alarmed to see some military personnel walking around. This place is beside the headquarters of the Philippine Marines. My next post will feature Salcedo Market.
