Last April 15, my friends and I went on a little sidetrip; food sidetrip that is. We went to the weekly Banchetto in Ortigas.
What is Banchetto? Banchetto is a weekly street food fest located in Emerald Avenue in Ortigas where local goers hang out and eat to their heart's content as it is showcased an array of mouthwatering cuisines from Filipino to American and even Korean dishes at an affordable, if not reasonable price. It's like a food bazaar in the middle of the street. People from all walks of life gathered there for a weekly dose of foodtrip.
So we went there and got something to eat since my friend's sister treated us. I went on something American and ordered a Salisbury steak with macaroni and cheese with mash potatoes as a side dish which priced at Php 125 (shown above). My friends ordered some tacos, baby back ribs, pesto and Rockefeller oysters, and a burrito (my side dish). We got also cakes as dessert as well.
My friend and his sister commented that the food they ordered doesn't taste good, my other friend said the food he ate is just ok. Mine on the other hand, what I ate tasted good mostly the Salisbury steak. The oysters isn't bad either although we should have ate it when it is still warm and newly cooked. We had cake desserts as well although the price of the cake is Php 70 for a small slice (the Sansrival slice which I ate) is a little steep, wish the serving is a little bigger.
Aside from my friend's comments, I would like to go back there and eat again, its a wonderful indulging experience. Next time, I'm ordering some Korean food. Banchetto opens every Friday night in Emerald Avenue from 11PM till 11AM. You may check out other Banchetto branches in Pioneer and in Libis (like Emerald) they also have a schedule as well.
