After a long day of errands in Fremont, Carmina's dad found himself yearning for the vibrant flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, igniting a culinary adventure that would tantalize his taste buds.

  After doing errands with the family my dad wanted to eat Vietnamese food in the area of Fremont . My dad brought us to  Pho Lan Noodles House  for our lunch. We all decided to eat one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. We had ordered some appetizers fried wanton and fried chicken with fish sauce . My dad had ordered Lemongrass chicken include with rice and salad in his meal but was already full when he had eaten his wife's meal. She had ordered the Chicken Banh Mi and chicken clear soup. I wanted to try their Pork Banh Mi sandwich and requested no jalapeno pepper on it. The sandwich is quite big had to slice it in the middle and the remaining was for takeout. The filling of the pork was a lot of serving soft and tender had a lot of flavoring. The bread was also soft even if it was toasted. Family members had ordered the Garlic Chow Mein with Shrimp .

Rizza located in Farmer's Market Cubao



Every day you learn something new how people in the palengke or what we call public market where you buy fresh meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and fruits. Yesterday, I came across from a store that was about to close. As I was watching them close their stall I was curious just watching what they we’re doing. Sometimes we don’t realize how everyone closes their store differently.

My mom was buying fresh crab and fresh shrimps at Farmer’s Market. I was set aside while she did more shopping to watch over her seafood while she had wandered away. I just stood where she had bought her fresh seafood.

This is what I saw the seafood that they sell for example crabs, shrimp and squid they are all place in a separate bins that are open. 
  • Pour water to wash out the dirt from the shrimp
  • Drain the water
  • In the container like a cooler place a plastic inside place the shrimp inside
  • Add crushed ice even it out
  • Add another level of shrimp
  • Add crushed ice 
  • Cover with plastic and the lid for the cooler 
They would do the same concept on the other fresh seafood. The only thing they would bring back home with them is the live crabs that are placed inside a plastic bin and they would wash it out as well before transferring in its container.

Where do they store the fresh fish, squid and shrimp under their counter where there is a hidden storage space? I never thought about it how they do this daily.

How to choose the crabs?
  • Babae (Girl) with aligi
  • Lalaki (Boy) white taba (meat)
  • Bakla (Gay) white taba (meat)
The live crabs sell for PHP 1,300.00 per kilo ($26.00).

The fresh medium size shrimp sell for PHP 600 per kilo ($12.00).
