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.
Soul Potato served us their Shepherd's Pie with Southern Chicken Tenders. Personally, I enjoy eating all sorts of chicken tenders just because there's no bone in them. I don't have to worry about separating the meat from the bone, so it's pretty much hassle-free dining.
The Shepherd's Pie is the kind of dish you eat when you need some comforting. I don't know, there's just something about potatoes that give it that feel. What's in the Shepherd's Pie: sautéed ground beef with bell peppers, corn and mushrooms in tomatoes, covered in mashed potatoes and topped with toasted mozzarella and potato crisp.
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
