Signs on the wall:

“Palihog dili tanggalon ang hikot sa banko”
“social distancing”

Monobloc chairs tied to the table — new normal way of preventing the old normal way of getting chairs from other tables for group dining.

Egg Mass of Wedge Seahare

Leave a comment Posted by on October 26, 2019

Egg mass (lukot) from wedge seahare (Dolabella auricularia). This is normally eaten raw and always a delightful treat. It is high in mineral and amino acids, an ideal food for human consumption.

Lukot is also used like a vegetable component of tinolang isda (clear fish soup). A glassful of it cost PHP 50 at Agdao Market.

Phothong

Leave a comment Posted by on May 17, 2019

Phothong is like a mini bus, the public transportation of Phuket.

To accommodate more goods and passengers, vehicles were modified by cutting the body leaving only the front part and lower chassis. Then a new body was built on it, made entirely of wood, with a roof on which goods can be stored and with two rows of benches along the length direction of the vehicle for passengers.

No need to modify pickup trucks but just install the new body.
