    lesliefu $10 can buy a REALLY good fresh meal of fish and veggies..? waw. It must be something very local that I keep avoiding:)
    yes -local market of course and nothing organic! :) veggies she buys enough for a few meals and fish she can buy up to 4 pieces at $10...don't know what fish it is though...she says all filipinos like them though!

    It should also be added in here that while imported crab can be very expensive, local wetmarket crab, especially when purchased as parts (eg: small bowl of claws) is not expensive at all. If you can time your visit toward the end of the day when traders all want to go home, you can get even better bargains.
    lesliefu, rani and geiboyi like this.
