Prelude to Your Destination: Night Market
Toni de Villa
Night Market is usually found in countries where season is mostly dry and culture is diverse. Very much known in most Asian
countries, Night Market gives you the satisfying pleasures of dining, shopping or simply
sweating your stressful day from work or day’s chores. Such notion came to the
locality where we can get almost all the enjoyment some of us may have experienced in
Thailand or Singapore, because Lucena Night Market is surely hitting your taste by storm.
First reason why almost all of us get to enjoy this new
way to spend your Friday and Saturday night is, what else? Food. If you feel like going
out to dinner with a free breeze of night wind, then you’ve come to the perfect
venue. Choose from a wide array of Japanese, American, Thai and of course, the traditional
Filipino food matched with your fave fresh fruit drinks. But, there’s one special
thing about Night Market that you’ll get to enjoy, it’s the barbecue. I believe
every country that has market selling by night has the smoke that comes with it. And this
is “real fast food.” Just place your order and you’ll get it in no time,
either in a banana leaf or box paired with your chopsticks. You don’t have to worry
much about the bill, prices range from as low as ten pesos to eighty pesos. And it’s
all worth your bucks.
Now, if you think this is all, they’ve got music
too. Hear ye Yuppies and music lovers! Acoustics is all over the area. Catch that man with
a guitar on Fridays as he gives you the serene strum while you walk, dine or simply eat
out with family and friends.
Finally, completing the list is the actual marketplace. One
street covers the entire shopping list from bags to shoes, apparels to accessories
(they’ve got Swarovski too!) and some home stuff you can choose from. Get the best
buys, because all of these are bargain. Just make sure you’ve got a good bid on the
item you want. Now, this isn’t something you get in Rustan’s or any shopping
mall around!
Night Market is one growing place to be at the heart of
the city and this is one way not just to promote and boast of our products but to liven up
the spirit of friendship amongst Lucenahins and more so, this shows how our culture
continues to evolve. As they say, we’re proud to be Pinoy.
