Ok, I'm not really sure what it's called so I'll name it lunch market. I discovered this by accident on one adventure-filled Tuesday. Here's the short on what happened to me on that Tuesday: my real plan was to check out the big Crocs sale at QSNCC, but I wasn't able to buy anything because there were so many people. Sayang, 50-70% off pa naman, but I didn't feel really bad because my real intention was to buy something for Aly and they didn't have many styles and sizes to choose from. Anyway, to make the most of my trip, I decided to try the MRT. If the BTS Sky Train is above ground, MRT naman is underground. I rode the MRT for the first time and I loved it! More kwento about that in a separate post. I got off at Silom station and from there, I explored the area on foot. I really just wanted to look for a place to eat lunch, but I ended up discovering two lunch markets along the way. I went home with blisters on my feet but I was happy with my new discovery.

What is a lunch market anyway? A lunch market is a tiangge of sorts that cater mainly to the office crowd who are out on their lunch break. You see them mostly in the sois (small street) near office buildings and they usually have a food court nearby. I'm not sure though if they are still open in the afternoons, but they are usually closed on weekends.

I went back last Thursday to explore the lunch market some more. This time, I brought a camera and I wore flip flops. Heehee! Oh, I also discovered that they have a Villa Market nearby. According to my Nancy Chandler map, Villa Market is the expat's supermarket so there's another reason for me to go back :)

Here's a peek. Here you will find factory overruns for kids and adults galore, food, clothes and more clothes! I got there early, kaya konti pa lang ang tao, but during lunch time, this place was packed!

Thai desserts. I wanted to try some, but the manang was masungit so I decided not to buy from her.

Another discovery. Cafe Naam. I went here for lunch last Tuesday, and I ate here again last Thursday.

The staff are friendly, the place looks cozy...if I were to put up my own restaurant, I'd like it to be like this :)

My lunch: penne pasta with 3 kinds of sausages in tomato sauce and lychee juice. I loved the lychee juice so much, I had two glasses. Heehee!

I like this place. I can't wait to share this with Richard and Aly.
