The night before the long weekend, I was introduced to Banchetto. An Italian word meaning 'banquet, feast, dinner, huge meal' and it did live up to its name. Banchetto has been called the "first weekly OVERNIGHT street food fiesta right in the middle of the city." From isaw (grilled chicken intestine) barbeque to seafood mixed rice, to puto bumbong (purple rice cake), takoyaki (japanese octopus balls), it's your definition of food trip especially after a gimmick or a long day/week of work. It now has 2 good locations: one along Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center and the other outside/beside Forum Robinsons, Pioneer St. corner EDSA.
Below is the remaining schedule of events for the 3rd quarter:
September 14-17 Tues-Fri 9pm-6am -- Banchetto Forum Robinsons, Pioneer corner EDSA
September 17 Friday 12am-11am Saturday -- Banchetto Emerald, Ortigas Center, Pasig City
September 21-24 Tues-Fri 9pm-6am -- Banchetto Forum Robinsons, Pioneer corner EDSA
September 24 Friday 12am-11am Saturday -- Banchetto Emerald, Ortigas Center, Pasig City
Sept 28-October 1 Tues-Fri 9pm-6am -- Banchetto Forum Robinsons, Pioneer corner EDSA
October 1 Friday 12am-11am Saturday -- Banchetto Emerald, Ortigas Center, Pasig City
Directions to Banchetto Forum: If you're coming from Makati, take EDSA and turn right to Robinson's Pioneer Mall and you will see Banchetto on your right. Banchetto is right outside the mall and you will not miss the tents and the smoke coming from the grills.
Directions to Banchetto Emerald: Part of Emerald Avenue is closed so it's better to take Julia Vargas. If you're coming from C5, turn right to Emerald Avenue from Julia Vargas. Turn left to Emerald if you're coming from San Miguel Ave.

Can't wait to go back there and bring my friends and family there!
