There are already many night food markets that are present around Metro Manila and people embrace these very warmly because of its convenience since all kinds of food that you can think about of eating are there and its affordability makes it more appealing to people to go and try the place.
If there is one thing that I love about living in Fort Bonifacio is that I am near this night market called Mercato Centrale located at the corner of 25th Street and 7th Avenue, in front of The Forum, South Global in BGC. It is open during Friday to Saturday, from 6:00 pm to 3:00 am. The Mercato night market comprises a wide array of food stalls offering different variety of foods to cater to the different taste buds that customers who visit the place have. It also has a live band playing all throughout its open hours to entertain and boost the crowd while they are eating. So basically, this night market is not solely for buying food but to have a chill and quality time with your love ones and friends while pigging out those delicious food that you have ordered.
Mercato is newly situated in an open area in front of a building where a big mural of an astronaut can be found. Its former location was near the BGC Football field and it was bigger than the new one. Despite this, they still have many chairs and tables which customers can use but I can say that their former location was more comfortable, spacious and could accommodate double the people compared to their new area. The ambiance of the place was of course loud because it was open and people are parading and looking out at the different food stalls so it was a bit stressing when you go here at peak hours for instance between 7:00 - 9:00 pm because it is really hard to get a seat and a table and sometimes, it will really take such a long time before a customer can comfortably find a place.

Of the many times that I have been here, I still have a lot of food to try because believe me, the food selection is completely overwhelming. Given that there are already many stalls but each stall has a wide assortment of the food it sells. Mercato offers different kinds of meat, chicken, pasta, pizza, shawarma, street food, cakes and pastries, ice cream, fresh fruit juices and many more different cuisines. They also sell beers in case the customer wants to relax and unwind. For a budget of 300-500 pesos, you can already try many food and your stomach can be very stuffed. I also suggest to go there in group if you really want to pig-out as many food as you can.
One of my favorite sections here is the food meals section because not only that the foods are at a very reasonable cost but they have generous servings for only P100 to P150 pesos. The street food section is another favorite because everytime I look at that stall, I cannot help but be persuaded to buy because it really looks appetizing with all those big barbeque, isaw, kwek-kwek, calamares and the like together in just one big table. But its price is a little bit pricey compared to those just sold in the street. They usually have this 3 for 100 maybe it in isaw, kwek-kwek and others but they are very yummy that is why I keep on buying them when I am here. I also like the shawarma section. It was a goodness from heaven. It is so meaty and flavorful. I have also tried their churros section, which is P120 for three I think, which was just ordinary - there was nothing special. Their hydrogen ice cream is just okay and expensive for a really small serving. And of course, their chicken wings are the best! This is the highly recommend for you to try and never go home from Mercato without trying it. Its price from P100-P200 is worth it. You can choose from their flavors. I suggest the Black Mamba which has a spicy sauce and has a cocoa combined. I know it appears unusual but this combination really work. It tastes amazing! A very must try!
As a general, Mercato Centrale in BGC will always give me a sense of happiness and a feeling of being full but still wanting to try out other food. This is one of my happy places especially when I want to be comforted. It just make me feel relaxed seeing all those food laid down on me at each and every stall. It is always the best time especially for my tummy whenever I visit this place. I am always contented going home from Mercato because it always gives me the best pig-out experience.
