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.
Current Swell gave us a taste of not only their coffee (from Mt. Apo) but also their Shakshouka and Seoul Bowl!
The Shakshouka is a Middle Eastern egg dish with their very own tomato and onion jam, served with pita bread. It's often served for breakfast, but you can pretty much have it any time of the day.
The Seoul Bowl, on the other hand, is kimchi rice with braised pork, egg, and pickled cucumbers. I loved the kimchi rice, and can probably eat it even without all the other ingredients present. That's how much I liked it.
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
