Becky was the first one to introduce me to  Amber  where she brought pork barbeque and pancit . It has been a long time eating there. Carmina was craving for pork barbeque. I had suggested to Becky to dine in person at Ambers after picking her up at her home. Upon entering there weren't that many people more on take outs we had looked over the menu since the print was too small to read decided to take a picture and zoom it on my phone. Becky and Carmina decided to share five pieces of pork barbecue. Becky ordered carbonara , and I chose one to serve of rice. You can choose where to sit when dining inside Amber. There is a restroom available, but it does not provide toilet paper, and it is a unisex facility. If you have leftovers can ask for assistant to have it wrapped up for you. Becky also recommended to try their pichi pichi which had ordered for takeout bring it home to eat.

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).
