Okay, this post is really late since this happened 2 weeks ago but it's better late than never, right?
Uhm... right...
Moving forward, 2 weeks ago, we were able to sample a new place that we kept passing up before at the Fort Bonifacio High Street because... uhm well... we really have no good reason to, except that there were other places that we'd like to go like Roadhouse Grill, Friday's and Italliani's. Well, this time, we decided to give the place a try and maybe let it earn a spot in our list of resto's that we often go to.
The place I'm talking about is the Stock Market! Yep, you heard it right... and it doesn't have anything to do with the Philippine Stock Exchange nor the Makati Stock exchange. It was named as such, because this place is owned by Del Monte Philippines and they were intending to display their wares or stocks in the place for people to sample and maybe buy... hence the name. Tada! (Google, I love you!)
The place is cozy with friendly people inside but the place is a little bit too white (the paint job) for my taste but to each his own I guess. We were greeted by courteous waiters and was given some bread for appetizers (free food! Yey!)... The free bread came with a salsa like dip complete with mangoes and cucumbers and works well with the bread they served us.. The menu was a bit limited and a little pricey but the waiter did say that their serving was already good for sharing! So we got their specialty salad, a Salmon and Spinach Dip and a Seared Salmon for the main course.
The salad came out first which was good but not
as good as the Burgoo salads that I am totally addicted to. We attacked the salad mercilessly even after we had our fill of the free bread that they gave us. It was good and had a very tasty dressing. It was a good second after the bread and made me excited for our other meals... The serving was just right for two persons but it can easily serve three or maybe even four if you're all light eaters.

| Salmon & Spinach Dip |
The salad was followed closely by the the Salmon and Spinach Dip which was heavenly!! It was very tasty, it was like the flavors just rolls off your tongue! We were expecting the seared salmon should come out anytime but we were already finished with all the bread for the dip and still no salmon, seared or otherwise. We asked the waiter to follow up our order... he did and came back apologetically since it was still a few minutes before the salmon was ready. What the? How long do you sear a salmon anyway? But since it was their fault, the waiter brought us some more of their free bread which we used with the leftover dip until finally, the Seared Salmon came out! Unfortunately, we were already a bit full and was only able to eat half of the Salmon and decided to take home the rest...

| Seared Salmon |
The waiter even included another round of their free bread with our take out. Though we didn't get to enjoy the Seared Salmon fully, the staff were very sorry and kept shoving free bread at us to keep us at bay so it was just okay , I guess.
We enjoyed the food and our experience at this place but the place had some mixed reviews online so I suggest you should try it out for yourselves at least once.

It's hard to mumble with all the free food in my mouth...
