The first fish in the picture is “aloy” small species of “Tulingan” the third CUT in the picture, second is not “SAPSAP” it’s “Bilong-bilong”, fourth is “Bukaw-bukaw” bukaw means owl so it was named after because of it’s big eyes.5th is “SAPSAP” bigger than this is called “Lawayan”. That bread with a sort of a pink coil is called “Ugoy-ugoy”. I like to eat this bread, cookie or whatever it is, it’s crunchie and delicious. Hidlaw nako tuloy sa Murcia.

Uy, dili na matambaka yong malaking mata na orange. Kasi rough ang skin niya at manipis ang laman. Cute lang siya pero lugi ka. Ang tawag sa amin PUSKAN! kun dako imo mata, tatawagin ka namin Puskan! he he. May classmate kami sa elem tawag namin puskan. Pero nung dalaga na siya, sexy pala ang ganun mata. heee

MM, im from murcia and im glad that you featured our market!
The pink fish that you describe was the so called bukaw-bukaw.
Wish that you will feature also the whole market of Murcia..
The people there were so very hospitable despite of unfortunate living.
Good luck and more power to this ad!

Pink fish with humongous eyes!…my guesses….bisugo, redfish (ocean perch). An aqautic website (forgot which one, now!)…fish with big eyes indicative of DEEP-WATER habitat.

MM, off topic…does anyone know how to make pilipit? MIL makes an awesome one….lost her recipe and I keep asking her soooo many times….hubby and boys can’t get enough of those! She’s getting senile, now (me, too!)!!!

Murcia Market is always a treat to go to. This is my father’s hometown and I love going there to get all sorts of native stuff including the native coffee that gives Starbuck’s a run for their money. I love the local “nipis” piaya that you can buy in the market. I have yet to see the new market since the old one got burned down a few years ago. I love reading your piece on Negros…and especially featuring Murcia.

That pink spiral biscuit/bread in the snack cart is called “ugoy-ugoy” here in Northern Negros. We usually eat that when weâ€™re young.
