First is Bucky's. When I was in the Lion City, I've been reading how my foodie friends are going crazy over this super sinful, deep, dark chocolates which started their story in the hip area called Poblacion. Later on, Bucky's started to introduce more dishes and owning the tag line "more than just brownies". I never really got to visit them as I rarely go to Makati whenever we're in town for a short visit so I thanked my lucky stars when I found out that they're opening shop in The Grid Food Market.





Moving on to Le Chon. I've heard about Happy Ongpauco-Tiu as she hails from the Barrio Fiesta family and is married to the Tiu family who are our family friends. Apart from this, I've heard a great deal about Happy's private dining repertoire and how amazing it is. I'm so glad that she has made her offerings more accessible to the public through Le Chon. Ordering at Le Chon is a breeze.
Step 1: Choose your lechon (lechon porchetta, lechon manok, lechon angus beef belly, lechon spicy tuna belly or lechon sisig)
Step 2: Choose your flavor (original, tanglad butter, sugar cane gata or truffle at bawang)
Step 3: Choose your sides (kamote fries, banana cue chips or my personal favorite -- grilled talong with baba ganoush)
Step 4: Choose your rice (Le chon's original butter rice or sexy brown rice)
Step 5: Choose your sauce (labuyo lime, pinakurat or adobo white sauce)

The price ranges from P299 to P495 depending on your choice of meat. However, the serving is huge! Paul and I always end up sharing one order whenever we order from Le Chon simply because we always have other dishes to share too.
My favorite combination is this: Lechon Angus Beef Belly + Original flavor + Grilled Talong with Baba Ganoush + Butter Rice + Adobo White Sauce

Hands down one of the best meals that I've had this year! I love everything about it, how fresh and tasty the meat is, the sides are so innovative and the rice is yummy. I also love the sweet and tangy atchara that's served with each platter too.
Finally, our last stop -- Bun Appetit.
Sometime in 2017, I've been hearing lots of raves about this popular stall in the Salcedo Market that's sells the best lobster rolls in town. Unfortunately, 2017 was a super busy year for me so no weekend market shopping for me then. Thankfully, Bun Appetit opened at The Grid making it easier now to try their famous lobster rolls, crab rolls and seafood cheese sandwiches.

My twins love their Garlic Noodles (Php. 150) which I can totally understand why. It's really flavorful and al dente that that alone makes for a good meal in itself. However, how can you just stop at their Garlic Noodles? Try the Lobster Roll (Php. 695) which is a generous bun filled to the brim with the juiciest, meatiest lobsters. I wonder where do they get their lobsters as it's soooo good. They went easy on the dressing as they really wanted the lobsters to take centerstage and what a star it really was. I've had Lobster Rolls overseas and that honestly paled in comparison to this.

They also have Crab Roll (Php. 495) and Shrimp Roll (Php. 395) which I will make sure to try next time. I'm also curious to try their Grilled Cheese sandwiches and if you're at The Grid for a big celebration, why don't you go all out and try the Steamed Live Maine Lobster which has to be ordered in advance.
Bun Appetit is definitely a haven for all sandwich and seafood lovers. While the price is slightly on the high side, this is still a good deal given that you're getting top quality ingredients in every bite.
This concludes my 2nd part feature of The Grid Food Market. There are still a few more stalls that I have yet to try and I will definitely add more to this series as I heard that they're opening their expansion wing very soon.
