Food park is the trend nowadays. It is where different food stalls are located in just one place. Being known as a food hub, Marikina didn't want to be left behind and came up with their Carnival Food Park. Hence the name, the food park's theme is carnival. It is consists of 26 mixed food stalls that is for the whole family or group of friends.
Just last week, I was invited to try some of their stall's bestseller. Let's start our foodtrip shall we?

HAVEY DESSERTS
Havey is pronounced as the way beki says it. Imagine Vice Ganda saying it, ganern! :) The owner Angel Bautista is fond of baking at home and she also customized birthday cakes. She started when she wanted to have monthly cakes for her baby so instead of ordering one, she decided to do it herself. Must try's are Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Cup with Ice Cream P110, Yemahh Cupcake P60 and Redvelvety Cupcake P70.

BREWSKIE PASTA HUB
The first concept was supposedly a bar chow. But because it is for a family-themed food park, they thought of serving different kinds of pastas. And I'm glad they did! Must try's are Wen Manong P188 where bagnet and vigan longganisa are fresh from Laoag, Kung Fu P168 is an accident recipe which came out to be one of their bestsellers.

A young entrepreneur Charmaine Reyes, with the help of her master chef Marco Bitong, whose love for sushi got her the idea to create an innovative dish.

Foodtrip at Carnival Food Park Marikina was quite fun! Parking is not a problem. They also have live bands but not so sure about the exact day. It would be a lot more fun if there are activities like inside a carnival too! Going there, along Marcos Highway, passed by Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall and make a U-turn. From PS Bank near Yellow Cab and Mcdonald's, go straight along Mayor Gil Fernando Ave and you'll see it at the left hand side.
Have you tried any of these stalls? What are your favorite so far?
