In Quezon City on Sundays, the Centris market near Quezon Avenue is quite comprehensive. On a daily basis, Farmer’s Market in Cubao has a good selection. On Saturdays, the Salcedo market in Makati is the most chi-chi, with mostly cooked food products. At the FTI complex in Taguig, I go to the AANI weekend market, and it’s a bit chaotic but has a decent selection of produce at good prices and there is lots of parking. On Sunday, the Legazpi market in Makati is a similar market to Salcedo. For fish, the Seaside Market on Roxas boulevard is small but carries lots of stuff. There are also markets in Alabang and lots of other places…

This is why fellow readers of this blog such as BettyQ make me envious when they share pictures of their first harvest https://goo.gl/QKWFo8 (although they stir the opposite sentiment from me come late summer when for sure they get inundated with rapidly ripening tomatoes.) Anyway, these naturalized Filipino tomatoes of the current post have been obviously passed by by the gene technologists, those busybodies who bred away all that made freely pollinated strains delicious in exchange for size uniformity, long shelf-life and durability in transit. It was the horticultural equivalent of Faust.

Delicious when (s)mashed by hand, with a good bagoong alamang and/or salted eggs with cilantro then eaten with lots of steamed rice.

Diet food, this is not!

It is hard to eat another tomato once one has feasted on an ‘heirloom’ variety. Jeez, still another 5 months in these parts before we can enjoy …
