I’m off from work today and Gabby has been enjoying his cartoon-all-day-pre-school vacation, so we thought of fetching Tina from her work. Her duty from O.R. ends at 2PM and since probably we’re looking for an alternative place other than going to the malls, coffee shops and restaurants, we decided to drop by a market in Quezon City which is a stone-throw away from (my former and) Tina’s workplace.
Before hitting the famous market, it’s common along these streets to see locally made handicrafts, decors and furnitures inside and out of Dapitan Arcade. Even its sidewalks had these spread…
Then few steps from Dapitan Arcade is this …
Where wrought-iron furnitures and tiffany chairs and ceramic and stonewares that I’m sure anyone can haggle for a cheaper price than somewhere else are all for sale…
Ofcourse you know we went there not for these wonderful buys but certainly for something to satisfy our gastronomic cravings, lol.
Do you like kakanin (rice cakes) ?
Puto, Kutsinta or dimsum (kikiam and siomai) perhaps ?
What about jap rolls like california maki with some wasabi ?
These are sold in SUKI MARKET for very affordable prices. The rice cakes are up for grab for only PhP 40 – 60 while California maki and other jap rolls can be bought for price range of PhP 80 to PhP 350 (biggest bilao). We bought and took home the medium sized bilao of these rolls (PhP 200) along with other nice-for-bites…
It would take probably two or more snack sessions before we finished all of these. We shared some to our household. =)
Have you been to Suki Market ?
hi docgelo…wow may mall na pala sa dapitan? It’s been ages since I last roamed the streets of Manila. Anyway, really nice post…nakakagutom!

Hi Ms. Pinkoy! Glad you dropped by my blog. I have linked yours with this site. Thanks!

KAKANIN!!!! *DROOL*
Migs, thanks for swinging to my blog!
hey i’ve been here! last christmas, we bought christmas themed plates and storage boxes, but that was in dapitan arcade only.
there’s maki and sushi platter? where???
those yummy california maki and other sushi are available at SUKI market, few steps from dapitan arcade! ubos na sila, we already ate them all, lol. =)
Hi Doc,
The cakes look yummy—but my favorite would be the Jap rolls. This market is very near my house in Maria Clara, St. Medyo napapadaan din ako dito pag weekends–baka nagkasalubong na tayo dun, Doc!
Lucky you Dennis if you live near this place. Thanks for dropping by.
interesting! i’d love to get my hands on those vintage looking chairs.
you bet Ms.Jess, those tiffany chairs are really nice especially for parties.
i just failed to capture the wooden chairs there which appear more vintage.
aw,doc…you’re making me hungry!
whatever that assorted cake at the lower right side, it really looks delish! is that similar to “sapin-sapin?”
I like the name, “Suki Market”, sounds friendly
It is SAPIN-SAPIN Ms. Nance! Do you get to eat these Pinoy treats there in NY?
Doc Gelo! Nakakagutom naman po itong blog nyo! Andaming food!

Yummy! I would love some of the rice cakes. But I’ll pass on the sushi because if they are not refrigerated, then I think I may have some health and safety issues
What a wonderful place to take your son.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow for more of the Keukenhof series!
