Within the compounds of HMR lies Pioneer St. Market, an indoor food bazaar with a total of 24 stalls offering various dishes from different cuisines (Filipino, Indonesian, Western, etc), as well as general merchandise including wine, nuts, coffee, vegetables, and plants.
Unlike other food parks, this one has air-conditioning and lots of parking spaces available. That's already a huge plus for me since most if not all food parks have neither.
Since I arrived early, I took the opportunity to walk around the market and check out the stalls!
I made sure to snap a few shots so you have an idea of how it all looks like.
I especially love the seating areas! They're just so cozy! :)
The event was entitled A Night at Pioneer St. Market and as you can see, everyone really prepared for it.
The styling and decorations they used just brought everything together!
Karl from Zomato was our host that evening and from experience, there is NEVER a dull moment when Karl is around.
Big Kahuna offers Hawaiian fast casual grub. Here we have a sample of their chicken plate with macaroni salad and some broccoli.
We also got to try their pork tonkatsu, though I'm not sure if that's what it's called since the word "tonkatsu" is not Hawaiian (duh haha). But yeah, if I'm not mistaken, both the chicken and pork make use of the same sauce. I like that it wasn't too sweet nor too thick like how other places make it.
And it came with a bowl of fried rice which I thought complemented the platter really well.
Though unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of macaroni salads in general, so theirs was just okay for me.
Pioneer Street Market is located at
Reliance St. corner Pioneer St. Behind HMR in front of TV5 (inside of parking lot HMR)
Operating hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10am-9pm
