Hott Asia Bazaar — Restaurant in Makati

Brought a foreign guest to Asia Bazaar because she was looking for local fare and street food. This was also my first time here but we were not disappointed though food choices and vendors were not that plentiful, this was more than made up for by the quality and taste of their offerings plus the entertainment offered by the place. When we visited, there was a comedic duo who did their skits with the music and there was a good cover band that knew their rock pieces from the 70s and 80s.

Food - 5*, we ordered from JNX Lutong Bahay and we had Sizzling Squid (₱150), Grilled Boneless Bangus (₱200) with rice and Langka sa Gata (₱100) with rice. Their seafood fare was tasty and done well. A soy-vinegar mix was provided for each. The Bangus had a topping of crispy garlic bits, diced tomatoes, onions and sliced green chili.

For drinks we went to Miko's Buko and had two fresh bukos at ₱100 each and a Buko Pandan Shake (₱100).

Service - 5*, knowledgeable and attentive

Atmosphere - 4*, simple but functional. The air was festive with many foreigners grooving to the songs.

Parking - 4*, parking within the compound. We parked at Century City Mall which was a short 5...

We didn't plan to eat here, but we smelled delicious grilled food on our way to look for a place to eat dinner. At 6 p.m., the place was not yet crowded. There were about a handful of tables occupied by diners. The dining area appears clean and well maintained. The tables are sanitary, not sticky or dirty. We easily found a table we can eat our dinner. We ordered our drinks and waited for 30l minutes for our grilled food. We ordered grilled bangus (milkfish), grilled squid, and grilled chicken intestines. We were very surprised how clean and well the grilled chicken intestines were. In fact, we enjoyed all of the food we ordered. The serving was sufficient as well. We paid less than P500 for our meals and paid about P100 each for our drinks. Our bill is about P800, good for three people.

We walked here from Berjaya Hotel which is about 5 to 8 minutes away. We didn't see any cars parked but there seems to be street parking for motorcycles. Parking is at owner's risk.

Payment is via cash or gcash. At around 7pm, a live band performed. We finished our meal by 8ish and by this time the area is already packed.

Liquor is served in this...

We didn’t have any expectations for this place. We were just walking around looking for a spot to dine, and this place didn’t disappoint. Although there were only a few stalls, we found some great food at the Mongolian stall and the BBQ stall next to it. The Mongolian noodles we ordered were cheap but delicious. We also enjoyed the stuffed squid from the BBQ stall—it was incredibly fresh! To our surprise, a live band started playing that night. We originally planned to take our food to go, but we ended up staying to watch and listen...
