Search

We’re giving you the first look at the newest food park in town, Box Park!

After StrEAT: Maginhawa Food Park, another food park emerges in another and farther side of Quezon City, the Box Park: Congressional Food Park.

Most likely inspired by the Box Park container parks in London or Dubai, the Box Park Manila features 14 new food brands that are unique from each other. It opened just 2 weeks ago but the Booky team was so excited to share this new food hub with all of you that we decided to visit as soon as we could.

Thai Food

Thai Food is right at the entrance and is the only vendor that’s not inside a customized container stall. Instead, a bicycle food cart, inspired by real vendors you’ll see along the streets of Bangkok, fronts its shop. A simple Thai menu is served:

Thai Fried Rice (P99)
Pad Thai (P99)

Baste & Taste

Baste means to pour juices or melted fat over (meat) during cooking in order to keep it moist; and taste, well, we all know that the best, don’t we? Baste and Taste offers a good mix of simple comfort food that is sure to leave awesome flavors on your palates. It specializes in flame-grilled chicken, pasta and more.

Cajita

Cajita, meaning “small box”, is a container cafe specializing in perfectly deep fried, crunchy-on-the-outside-chewy churros. Other items on their soft opening menu includes hot chocolate and a few hot and iced coffee selections.

Churros, 4 pcs. with dip (P99)
Extra dip (P20)

Angel Treats

Among all the stalls, Angel Treats is probably the odd man because although it serves a number of rice meals, lugaw and turon, it actually specializes in gourmet products by Angelita including bottled tuyo, vinegar, chicharon and more.

Kazam Kebab House

Kazam is the choice of stall if you’re craving for middle-eastern goodies. They have a big menu categorized based on cooking time–Speedy Specialties take 6 minutes, Delicious Deals, 12 minutes and Worth the Wait, 18 minutes.

Shawarma Wrap (P85)
Special Chelo Taka (P265)
Hummus (P70)
Ox Brain (P135)

Ozawa Noritako

Ozawa serves Japanese fusion small bites and rice bowls. Its specialty and, in our opinion, the most surprising highlight amongst all, is the Noritako (a cross between a nori sushi and a taco). It uses deep fried and crunchy wanton wrapper as its outer shell, then filled with seaweed wrap, sushi rice, Japanese mayo, carrots, cucumber and your meat of choice. Here’s their list of noritako variants:

Beef Tenderloin Steak Noritako (P145)
Pork Tonkatsu Noritako (P120)
Pork Teriyaki Noritako (P125)
Chicken Karaage Noritako (P130)

The Fry Guys

Their name already says it all, The Fry Guys is all about fries. Their menu includes classic fries with dips or flavored powder and their special torched fries topped with cheese and toppings. We recommend you try one of their Torched Fries selection:

Cheesy Bacon Fries (P150)
Cheesy Beef Fries (P150)
Chili Cheese Fries (P150)
Poutine (P150)
