Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
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
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?
