MAKATI CITY | TRUCK @JUNCTION HOSTELS
The second floor of an unassuming hostel in Makati City covered by glass walls has the body of a container truck serving as its kitchen to transient sojourners. Literal to its façade, it is named the Truck. On how it was assembled is another story.

| THE TRUCK |
Bean bags, long tables and a
computer center on one corner makes this place an interesting study area and
temporary office space apart from a dining area. On a Sunday, I saw law books piled up on one
table who I assume are preparing for the Bar Examinations. The law students’ library has indeed adapted
to the inevitable, the emergence of hostels have become an alternative to
coffee shops.
But more than a study area,
it becomes a rendezvous and a place where transients converge. It served as a place to drink in our
case.

| THE INTERIORS |
The truck offers imported beers where drinking is allowed until midnight. With the exception of Sunday, it is open from 5PM until 10PM and offers delectable cuisine in the form of known street food finds.

| BEERS |
On a Saturday night, we were fortunate to pair our beer with the street food offerings of the Truck prepared by its resident chef, Jason Peeney, who previously worked in known luxury hotels in the country and in Bangladesh. He is a fellow traveler as well.
