The food in the Philippines was FANTASTIC - abundant, fresh, and
lovingly prepared. In Apatut, there were new and interesting fruits and
vegetables to try and tons of rice and fresh, locally caught fish. Here are some photos of some of the fun and most interesting things we ate and one of my favorite places to visit, the Manila Fish Market.

One of my favorite places to visit is the fish market in Manila - there are three locations, all similar. Right next to the market are a bunch of hole-in-the-wall type eateries where you can bring newly bought fish or have them buy it for you and everything is made exactly to order. I just love this idea and wish we had a place like this in Philadelphia!

Everything, both in Apatut and Manila, was delicious, and definitely one of the highlights of the trip!
