King Crab house has stood on P. Guevarra seemingly for ages, constantly and quietly serving Chinese…read morefood for the past few decades. It's a restaurant that has stood the test of time and weathered the emergence of more modern and hip restaurants in the Greenhills area. All because they still serve the familiar, mouthwatering dishes they have since years ago. My family would still come here, partly driven by a sense of nostalgia and partly because of their oh so delicious crab vermicelli pot dish. The waiter would show you the live crab (choose between a variety of sizes) then scurry to the kitchen, and minutes later you'd have a divine meal on your table. Accompany that with their halaan soup and their fried rice and you got yourself a happy belly. While King Crab House feels a bit old and dated, it's still a good meal.

Bag O' Shrimps - 5 Stars If you're craving a messy,…read moredelicious seafood feast, Bag O' Shrimps hits the spot. The crab boil was bursting with flavor -- rich, garlicky, and perfectly seasoned so every bite packed a punch. Portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly affordable for the quality and freshness. What really made the experience stand out was the warm, family-friendly vibe. The staff treated us like old friends, making the whole meal feel relaxed and fun. The casual, welcoming ambiance is perfect for rolling up your sleeves, digging in, and enjoying great seafood with great company. This is the kind of place you leave with a full stomach, a happy heart, and maybe a little sauce on your shirt -- exactly how a crab boil should be.

Experience:…read more Prominent things in this restaurant would be the hanging decoration near the lights and walls, gloves for eating, seafood in a bag, and a sink for hand washing. There's no restroom inside but Atrium's is just right across. Clam Chowder: This was a good way to start our meal! Soup was thick, having a creamy texture that was filling enough along with some clam. Seafood Specialties: Main course of today's meal was mussels and shrimp. Before anything, I gotta mention how fun it was to eat everything with plastic gloves on. I've tried this with wings elsewhere and now seafood at Bag O' Shrimps; just pure fun! I still dare to put aside using a spoon to eat the rice drenched in their amazing sauces. Shrimps were fresh plus easy and fun to peel before dipping back into its amazing sauce before eating. We added corn to everything and even that was fun to eat. It's a bit messy on the mouth though. Mussels were impressively large and probably the largest I've seen so far. You can easily tell from the shells already and when you see the actual mussels, amazing! The sauce was just as tasty as the shrimps' but with a bit more spice. Service: Standard good service! Good luck eating the rice with your hands. I'd also love to hear everyone's thoughts! Did scooping a handful and pushing it up with your thumb still work with the gloves on.

There are a handful of paluto restaurants in here to complement the surprisingly good seafood market there, but the undisputed leader of the pack would have to be Aling Tonya's. Tracing its roots to Baclaran, Aling Tonya's has been doing seafood cooking for four decades, and their expertise really shines through. I've eaten at this branch a couple of times and I swear I've never had a bad order. They do shrimps and tahongs very, VERY well. Sauteed, fried, or steamed, they just know how to cook. They do wonders with crabs, fish, and squids as well. My personal favorites would be their garlic buttered shrimps, their grilled squid, and their steamed tahong.

I went just to sightsee and thought it was pretty wonderful, a giant, colorful open air market absolutely teeming with life. The place was huge, with what felt like hundreds of vendors selling fish, meat, and produce in tightly arranged stalls. There were lots of people and the occasional cat, and we tourists were in the minority--I think almost everyone else was there to buy or sell food. The produce looked fresh, and there was a robust seafood section. We'd visited the Navotas fish port that morning, and I gather that a lot of the fish caught there make there way to the Farmers Market. We stopped by the food court and picked up mango and green mango shakes at the Fruitas stand. I'm sure we missed out on other excellent eats, but those shakes were delicious. I'll bet you could spend quite some time exploring this Farmers Market. I enjoyed my visit and would recommend the place to anyone living in or passing through Metro Manila.

Seriously old world. Even though much more organized and clean than what I remember. Old world open…read moreair market. Open air in that there are no walls so even from the middle you can see the outdoor city streets. There is a ceiling covering the entire market so no food or person will be exposed to the sun and/or elements. The place is huge like at least one city block. Every vendor is its own business, so every stall you go to you will have to make a payment. Also able to haggle if you have any skill for it. I do not but natives...it's in their blood. No card transactions either straight cash, and actually have smaller bills so to make giving change easier. When I said old world, I meant old world! Place is also sectioned off...vegetables in one area, fruit vendors in another, beef, poultry, eggs, fish and shellfish are all grouped by their product. A little overwhelming for me but if you shop here regularly then I suppose you can figure out which vendor works for you, then you can establish a relationship. No shopping carts or even baskets. So bring your own bags. We only brought 1 bag and after buying more shellfish than what we came for, my aunt and I went to the house wares area and bought a small plastic bucket to put our bags of seafood in. We put all our produce in the bag I brought. The nature of the market will give first worlders fits. Nothing is refrigerated and is just sitting out in open air. Even seafood and meats like beef and pork. Just sitting or hanging in open air, and that air is not cool or temperate. Lol. I got a little queasy a few times but it is just how certain countries have been doing it for centuries. Sure there are modern grocery stores here that will rival any grocery store in the US or Europe, but I wanted to see one of these again before my trip ended. It just is in more in touch with regular people, people who are living their daily lives. That is what I wanted to be a part of. Whilst putting down food for my family, I was also able to help another put food on theirs. An exchange I can smile and feel good about. 5 Old World Stars!
