No Reservation (Part 2)






Yesterday Carlo, his friend Mike, and I explored one of the farmer's markets in Cubao. Here you can go to the “wet” market to pick out what food you want, and then they cook it for you in another part of the market. There is no doubt that this food is fresh! I've tried to show you before and after photos. We ordered salt and pepper crab, and it was delicious when I dipped it in a vinegar sauce. We also had garlic butter shrimp. I was surprised by the traditional tamarind soup (sinigang sa miso) with fish (Tanigue – a Spanish mackerel). It looks like it would be a salty broth, but it had a tangy flavor that was quite refreshing.
