Sandra recommended we go to the Malatapay Market which happens only on Wednesday. She knows we like to eat 🙂 So we made sure we were in the area on a Wednesday to see what this is all about and experience it. It is around 30 minutes aways from Dumaguete and in the town of Malatapay
It’s a street with stalls selling fresh seafood and others but mainly seafood
You can buy the seafood and have it cooked in one of the restaurant stalls
Shark :-O
They also trade livestock. This carabao has been sold already to this new owner
More livestock in that truck
Other items being sold
A must in the market! Lechon! I saw two stalls there and they were fully sold out
This was where we ate. We could not really shop for our seafood because it started to rain so we just ordered our food from this restaurant
Our table 🙂 with a tarpaulin as our table cover
Utensils were in a bowl with hot water
Puso rice which is wrapped and boiled in woven coconut leaves. It is known as hanging rice since they hang it 🙂 It’s very dense rice and is a Cebuano creation
It already has a split in the middle you just open it up 🙂
Sauce 🙂
Kinilaw na Tanguige
Lechon
Fish
Tinola
I saw this across our table 🙂 Blindmen serenading 🙂
Our bill for 10 people
We went to Apo Island then came back and on the way home this was how the market looked like 🙂
The souvenir shop was still opened
