Inihaw na daing na pusit is grilled dried squid.
Assorted grilled fish.
le meilleur poisson que j'ai gouté s'est appelé kitong. il vient de la mer. je trouve que les poissons qui viennent de la mer sont plus delicieux. le "kitong" est un peu comme le "tilapia".

The grilled fish looks good and I think I could deal with the fish and squid balls. But I'm sticking to my vegetarian ways :)

Squid balls hé.
And what part of the female squids are eaten?
Sorry, couldn't resist that.
This is actually beginning to look like upmarket food.

I like kikiam. But what I do is I take them home and eat them with my own bottled sweet and sour sauce. Weird, maybe - but I cringe at seeing people dipping their fishballs in the sauce provided by the vendor. What bugs me is someone might have taken a bite already on a piece, then dipped it back again in the sauce.. ugh..!

Squid balls are ok, without the sauce I find them a bit tasteless but barbequed Tilapia is Yummie!!
Looks like your site has been highjacked again, I get several pop up's when I open your site.
