Marcy Fine Foods

Definitely improved with food quality during a recent visit and surprise takeouts by the hubby when he is aware of my ‘no cooking tonight’ mood! A lot more fresh and the service is warmer and friendlier. Maybe the season of Christmas is upon us! No? Too early? Bah, whateverrrr!!!
And yess! I’m addicted to their homemade vinegar which they sell at this joint, perfectly spiced with the right amount of sweetness and tang, perfect for your springrolls and other ‘vinegar dipping worthy’ eats at home.

Reliable, friendly staff and good selection of filipino goods and cuisine. We mostly come here for the bbq, tuyo, and the kare-​kare and we love it every time. Definitely a fam fave for quick take out especially on days when life gets too busy for us to cook at home.

Small Filipino grocery in this small village plaza
The place doubles as a little cafeteria in the back which is what initially drew me in anyhow. The sight of grilled meats is enough to make your knees quiver which is what i was really hoping for when I walked in. The hot foods section isn’t bad but it didn’t live up to this ridiculous image I had in mind. Nonetheless, there was a good variety of filipino staples like adobo chicken and some lechon.
However, much of it looked as though it had been sitting out as most of the other goodies were gone. Freshness aside, I opted to go for 3 of those giant chicken BBQ skewers. Those skewers were long and had some incredible tasting chicken chunks on them. I couldn’t even tell you if they were white or dark meat because I swallowed them whole before I could even decipher them. (Sorry guys). The meat didn’t have this char grilled flavor or anything, it was just coated in this addictive bbq sauce that made me want to run back and ask for a bottle.
Other than those chicken skewers, I lounged around and picked up some odd looking crackers, noodles, and coconut juice. There really wasn’t anything special about the place, but I will continue to be that odd individual who walks in, ignores everything else, and buys chicken skewers.
Yeah. That’s me.

I only go here for the seasoned beef short ribs (raw) so that I can throw them on my barbecue. They’re always a hit and they smell/​taste delicious!
I only wish they sold the marinade!

I think this is the best Filipino take-​out in the Greater Toronto Area. I love their pancit palabok and beef caldereta. Their okoy is bigger and better than everywhere else, as they use large shrimps and make it nice and crispy. Marcy’s other biggest hit is their vacuum packed marinated kalbi which is ready for the grill. What a great idea! Grab a $ 20 bag or two and have a great BBQ.

I had a craving for daing na bangus (pan fried milk fish) lately and this place satisfied it. Their bangus is generally larger than most other places. They don’t make it too salty either so I can actually eat it without any rice.
The only thing you need to do is time it so it is freshly made, I unfortunately had one which was out there for a while and it didn’t taste as good.
