FLAVORS Araneta Center

I've been looking for posts regarding this new outdoor/night food market found right beside Araneta Center across Gateway.Since I couldn't find any, I thought some people might try to look for reviews of a sort and decided to write this post and put up some of the pics I took at the grand opening on May 31, 2013.

Compared to the late Mezzanorte at Technohub in Commonwealth, there are far fewer food establishments at Flavors. I hope this changes. I also got the impression that most of the food offered was deep fried. It seems the only stall offering healthy food was Cibo and it was also one of the stores I saw that did not have any customers so they might bow out of the market soon.

The seats are much nicer than the monoblocks at Mezzanorte but there are again fewer of them. I would prefer more efficient seating at the expense of being crowded...





 


I was still full so I got shawarma at this place:



It was only P55 (same price for shawarma rice) but there was very little beef. Look at all the dough at the end of it!



I did have one fresh oyster (P10) and one baked oyster (P15) flown in from Capiz so that made me happy!!



This was the only dessert stall in the market. I think this one will have competitors soon:



There was one milk tea place, one fruit shake place, a beer/alcoholic drinks store and some interesting beverages not commonly seen. Here's a sample:



I caught a couple of beauty queens trying hard to be hosts (still not very good at it I'm afraid) but sorry, I wasn't interested enough to take a photo. There was one singer from X-Factor before the beauty queens but the main act was a rock group called Urbandub I think. One of the guitarists is female!



Very loud.

That's it! In conclusion, I will not go to Flavors if I have no other errand in Cubao since it's not all that convenient. I do miss Mezzanorte at Technohub....
