Was wondering what kind of crab my gf catches at low tide on Mactan beaches, she has no idea what their name is, also the clams she digs. She says the crab are small, would those be softshell crab? Does anybody know? I’d appreciate a reply, thank you.

hi MM…. you may want to try this sauce: simply mix Clause Tayags XO sauce with Kablon Farm’s Guava jelly and you have yourself a fantastic dipping chili sauce…

Hi Weyn, I am a believer in the notion that good naturally home or small batch made lard is healthier than butter or hydrogenated vegetable oils, see this post here. While I eat fried food 2-3x a week out of say 21 potential meals, I do try to watch that as well. Generally, I look out for overdoing anything with high uric acid and very high cholesterol as my blood numbers in those areas need help. It may not be apparent in the posts, but I do eat a LOT of vegetables and salads as well. So I try to balance things out, and though still say 15-20 pounds higher than my personal ideal weight, I don't think I am obese nor are my blood numbers horrific for my age... :)

Hi MM, I’ve been a reader of your blog for quite some time (though not more than a year, I think), and I noticed you cook with lard often. I had always believed it’s just your way of getting better flavors out of your food. Anyway, I read your post about the bone marrow and that you eat it only twice a year :) and I thought, but you also make many dishes with lard, surely it can be unhealthy, too? Or am I being naive about lard (and missing out on something good!)?

I can only manage to eat like half of a regular size crab before I get “suya”. But the pictures made me hungry!!! :)

MM, I think I’ll try soft shell crabs using Millet’s crabs with salted eggs recipe! I substituted the crabs with prawns and they were spectacular so I figured soft shell crabs will be as delicious! Oh Royal Quality Agro, here I come….
