Tabo-an's Dried Fish

Actually every market (and mall market too) in P.I. sells dried fish. I haven't found a market yet in our country that has no dried fish section. Ofcourse, those bay side provinces that are seafood producers (like Cebu) deliver better quality dried seafood products.

In Cebu City, dried seafood products are best bought in Tabo-an Market. Specializing in massive variants of dried products- dangit, squid, shrimp, even dried mango can also be bought here.



I especially liked the longanisa (local sausage) de Cebu I bought from here. I guess flavors varied depending on which store you bought.

The only downside was it really stank. Omg!



From there we went straight to catch our flight back to Manila and funny that when we got miles away from the market, only then we realized that we were taking home not only Tabo-ans delicious goods but the dried fish awful smell too, haha.
Oops, don't forget to ask the merchant to box your smelly goodies if you're going to fly them. We did forget for a minute and had to ask our cab driver to turn back to the store and asked them to box pack our purchase. They did,  even apologetic that they didn't box it in the first place. Very nice.

Food Vendors on the Beach

This lady couldn't resist street food. Especially when she saw the dried squid on stick. After 5 sticks, she gave the verdict : on this side of P.I., found the sweetest grilled dried squid.






There were lots of cart vendors in Boracay, selling the same street foods in Manila . Carts are parked on a world class, fine white sand/ beach . I wonder how hard they try to keep away from polluting the beautiful beach.
