Messina Eats Is Back! Featuring Hoy Pinoy's Filipino BBQ

March 19, 2021

It's been a long year of no events and no Messina Eats... but it's finally time to have some fun. Come and visit the Messina Eats re-launch and taste Hoy Pinoy's delicious Filipino BBQ, 16-17th April.

If you're missing Sydney's Night Noodle Markets and their most popular vendor, this should fill the void! Bringing their open-air Filipino barbecues and prized lechon all the way from Melbourne, they'll be setup and smoking out the neighbourhood from 12pm on Friday 16th – Saturday 17th April.

They're bringing all the Hoy Pinoy classics as well as a few new specials. The rolled lechon belly charcoal roast will only be available on Friday as a special, and the full lechon (whole pig) spit roast will only be available on Saturday from 1pm. Both served with rice, spiced vinegar and cucumber salad.

We'll be on desserts and drinks of course:

MILO MILO: halo-halo layers of malt flan, choc malt crumble, Jersey milk gelato, choc malt ice, choc malt powder (d, g, n)

BUKO PANDAN DRINK: sweetened coconut milk with pandan jellies (d, gel)
LEMONGRASS ICED TEA: sweetened tea, sliced orange, mint
