Sunday morning at the Market at the Hills

Along Temple Drive in Quezon City is a weekend market called Market at the Hills. It opens at 7.00 a.m. and closes at 4.00 p.m. We were there a little after 7 yesterday, ahead of the crowds so we were able to enjoy breakfast and leisurely shopping. There were a lot of food items for sale; I will only write about those that we bought and tried.

Let’s start with breakfast.

Chicken and roast beef empanadas

I ordered two baked empanadas — chicken a la king and roast beef — from Something Different Bakeshop, one for myself and the other for my husband. We each ate half of each so we could try both. The chicken a la king empanada was so-so, the flaky and sweetish crust overpowering the subtly flavored filling. But the roast beef empanada deserves a hearty recommendation. Among the many other products of Something Different Bakeshop, we bought a pack each of asado dinner rolls and adobo dinner rolls both of which we brought home. They were delicious.

Because Sunday is Dad’s turn to cook day, when my husband Speedy saw the cured meats and ready-to-eat food items for sale, he bought several items to make his Sunday chore easier.

Chicken embutido

From Long Island Deli, he bought two pieces of chicken embutido which we had for lunch.

Slicing a whole chicken embutido

All he had to do was slice them.

A plate of chicken embutido

That’s just one piece of chicken embutido on the plate. Speedy served both and we had more than enough for six people. They were good. Not earth-shakingly good but good enough for that price. You can always make your chicken embutido at home, you know? It’s not as complicated as you may think. Click here for the recipe in the noche buena blog section.

    Its actually Corinthian Hills :) Corinthian Garden is the one along EDSA.

    From EDSA, you turn right on the road w/c also leads you to White Plains, between Camp Aguinaldo and Corinthian Garden. You will see the Mormon church, take a right, that is Temple Drive. Soon on your right, you can’t miss the weekend Market at the Hills.
