(SPOT.ph) It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the Christmas season entails gorging on food—with every Christmas party, family reunion, or year-end "alignments" with friends, there's always eating and drinking involved in one way or another. For more casual dining during this season of feasting, consider dropping by Mercato Centrale's new food market in the east of Metro Manila. It's at Bridgetowne, the real estate development that spans border of Pasig and Quezon City. The best part? It's open until midnight—perfect for the night owls out there.

Check out the new Mercato Centrale at Bridgetowne in Pasig City:
Just unveiled earlier this month, the newest attraction at Bridgetowne is Mercato Centrale, the country's largest food market for small food businesses. Nestled near the real estate's football field, the food market has nearly two dozen stalls so you have options, options, and more options.
What are these options, you ask? Some of the noms you can expect are dishes with Hungarian sausage from Hungarian Supreme, quintessential Christmas eats at Lyn's Bibingka, stuffed Ilocos empanadas from El Angelicious Empanada, inihaw skewers from Cheng's Grill, all kinds of Korean food at Uncle Kim's, and shawarma wrap from It's A Wrap, among many others. Mercato Central isn't leaving any food market-goer dehydrated, either. Get your late-night coffee fix at Kraft Coffee, or go for refreshing fruit juices from Heaven Shake, Nutrifresh, Face Buko, and Juice Factory.
Once you've settled on what your orders are, there are benches and chairs scattered in the area where you can take a seat and eat. There are buskers at the venue daily to provide entertainment while you're enjoying your food, drinks, company, and the tingling Christmas breeze.
During the holiday season, this Mercato Centrale will be open from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 4 p.m. until 12 midnight. Come January up until March next year, the market will be open from Thursdays to Sundays, with the same operating time.
Bridgetowne is in between the cities of Quezon City and Pasig City. For more information, check out Mercato Centrale's Facebook page.
