Our first stop was, oddly enough, Starbucks for our daily dose of caffeine. It was followed by a very American lunch of hamburgers and steaks, and a quick duty-free shopping at Subic.
But despite the rather slow start and the quest to find the original Razon’s branch (which happened to be closed), the dinner made it so worth it.
Who’d have thought I’d eat crickets and ENJOY it?
Save for a field trip to Clark, an immersion with the Aetas in the mountains of Pampanga, covering an event in San Fernando (and witnessing a monkey masturbate. Damn, I didn’t know they do *that*), running around the looking for food as part of a challenge, I never really knew Pampanga. After this culinary tour, I’m now eager to learn and explore Pampanga more. And discover more food.

P.s. Thanks so much for this tour, Anton and Spanx!

Hi Nina,
This is Jojo here from KL, Malaysia. Interesting to know you’ve been travelling quite a bit.
I’ll be going to Manila in January next year. I was wondering if you could share with me, info about travelling within Manila. Example, hotel recommendation, places to visit, shopping and must-try food.
You could email me at jojo_wm[at]hotmail.com.
Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks.
Jojo
Nina’s note: I hope you don’t mind, I edited your e-mail address so the spammers won’t get you
…crickets?
Hmmm…what’d they taste like? Do tell!
Hi Jojo! I’m actually due to write a mini Manila guide. Hopefully, I’ll have it done by October or November.
Do you already have an idea of what your itinerary would be? How long will you be here? Any particular place you want to visit or particular activity you want to do?
I’ll e-mail you (btw, I edited your email address to prevent spam) with some suggestions.
bchai: You’ve already read about it in my other blog, but I’ll answer this again for the other readers.
Crickets, surprisingly, do not taste like chicken. They taste like bacon.
You know, they really don’t look that bad in your friend’s pictures. They actually look TASTY.
Well, I’ve never been picky, but I’d give it a try.
All his food pics look SO GOOOOOOD…!
Did you look at the food pics in his other entries? Guaranteed to make you drool!
