The Rumour Mill.We like sandwiches. There is something about the perfect bite that makes us giddy. The thought of being able to create a morsel with the right balance of sweet, spicy, tangy, salty and tasty has always facinated us. Sandwich making is an art and we treat it as such. We like seafood. In the Philippines, a conglomerate of islands, we feel that fresh seafood isn't visible enough on restaurant menus. So we looked around the provinces in search of the best Flathead Lobsters, Soft Shell Crabs, Oysters, Shrimps and yes, Lobsters. We put those two things together and came up with Manila Pop Up's Sandwiches. On Saturday July 27th, from lunch time (12.30) onwards (until stocks last - we are not sure if we should make 300 or 500 sandwiches yet?), we will be making these sandwiches fresh and selling them. We will also have some side dish favourites, including Shoestring fries with herbs, Spiked lemonade, Buko Ice Candy and more.We collaborated with Chef Ed Bugia from Pino and we will be taking over BRGR for the day on Jupiter street corner Planet Street in Makati.Prices will start around 250 per sandwich depending on the protein used (of course the Lobster one will be more expensive), but you will definitely be getting your money's worth.Let's recap:Saturday 27th July12.30 onwardsLimited number of sandwiches, made fresh, first come first serve.Any one person can only buy 5 sandwiches. We do this because we don't want to hold up the speed of service.There is limited seating, but we really want people to just hang out with us inside/outside of the shop, for a true lobster shack experience (they did start with carts and food trucks). Also, everything will be served in a to go format should you just want to run away with your treasures.
