A few minutes after our boat docked at the Coron harbor, the rain poured and we ran to the nearest shelter--the public market. I looked around and realized we were in the dried fish section---mother's favorite! So we bought various dried fish for family and friends---labahita, danggit, bisugo, sapsap. Then we wandered to the wet section and I was delighted to see crabs! I wondered out loud if there's a way that we could have crabs for dinner. The vendor told me that we can have it cooked at our hotel, so I bought a kilo for only P120! I was amazed at how cheap it was!
But when we got to our hotel, I was told by the staff that the kitchen was very busy and I was directed to a sari-sari store across the street. I walked over and the woman there said yes, they will cook the crabs for a fee---it's P150 (I almost dropped the bag of crabs). I knew she was robbing me blind but I was too fixated on the crabs and too hungry to care.

I ordered crab and corn soup to go with the steamed crabs and rice. The crabs were succulent and sweet and fat! Yummy!

The Singaporeons ruins the natural taste of crab by their chilli sauce. I am influenced by them.
Steamed crabs dipped in vinegar with chopped garlic-my favorite! Visiting from Food Trip Friday!
