    This buy-to-cook method has been popular in Asia for decades, and that food on your table looks delicious and hearty;
    Carefully analyze the two restaurants, the waiter in the one you went to is more friendly, and the guests also make the atmosphere more enthusiastic;
    I don't want to be annoying, but honestly your shopping skills and luck in finding good restaurants are a lot better than Ali's;
    You are so funny that you go to eat other people's food, yes you are fortunate, not unfortunate, thanks for sharing!👍😃👏
    P.S. In my country, if the fishmonger cooperates with the restaurant, there is almost only a fixed and low handling fee for cooking,
    so there is no need to pay that much, so I think the fishmonger didn't cooperate with that restaurant!
    這種現買現煮的方式已流行亞洲數十年,那一桌菜看起來很美味,也很豐盛;
    仔細分析兩家餐廳,你去的那家的服務生比較友善,客人也讓氣氛比較熱情;
    我不想讓人討厭,但老實說哈利的購物技巧及找好餐廳的運氣比阿里好很多;
    你很好玩,竟跑去吃別人的食物,是的,你很幸運,不是不幸運,謝謝分享!

      @@harryjaggardtravel In fact, there are many situations! Some fishmongers have their own restaurants, and they may only charge the cost of some seasonings;
      some restaurants take the initiative to seek cooperation with the fishmongers, and they will charge a little more for the service fee!
      If in my country, after buying seafood, it really can't be that expensive to overpay for cooking!
      In fact, it is easy to judge that when Ali asked them to recommend, they did not specify which restaurant to go to, which proved that there was no cooperative relationship between them!
      But not every one is like this, maybe other fishmongers have their own cooperative restaurants!
      However, for me, the main cost should be ingredients ~ seafood, whether they cooperate or not, the cooking price charged by that restaurant really scares me!

    P500 for those 3 lobsters was very reasonable. Lobsters are very expensive. He was not overcharging, and he was giving you free scallops as a "thank you." That's how Filipino vendors are. You could ask for freebies in the market. Just say "dagdagan mo naman" ("add some for free"). That is Filipino hospitality. :-)

      @@imnotsei , perhaps if he just got one piece. But then again the cooking charge for that 1 pc would be the same. So that would make the entire dish more expensive. If he haggled for P350 for all those 3 pcs, the vendor might not be able to recover the cost (think of logistics and labor costs). Those who are in our markets are small time vendors who need the money to keep their families afloat. I feel bad when people try to haggle too hard with small time vendors. You haggle only when you feel the price is too expensive and/or unreasonable; not because you just feel like you have to. You gotta help those people survive too. IMO.

    Super, time for you guys to enjoy fresh seafood (practically a sea to table experience)! Side note, when I was in preschool (in the west), In our class show and tell, I brought some homemade PH pastry after which the teacher asked if I had anything else to share, befuddled I said, "at home my parents eat the fish head as well" (in my mom's quest for fresh seafood, she goes to the wharf at ungodly hour). As my mom was picking me up, classmates surrounded my mom asking her if it was true that we eat fish head ~ needless to say I never saw whole fish with head on on our table since then, I just have issue eating something that stares back at me... Note that typically nothing goes to waste in terms of food in the PH... I'm sure you have seen in the street foods that they have made use of the just about everything, from chicken feet, intestines and other innards, to skin... I saw Ali have some isaw, hats off to him!

      Bargain is normal and it should be the same with foreigners. You can't just tell him not to bargain just because he's foreigner. What Ali and he did is perfect example for everyone.

    • @kilometer6712
      @kilometer6712 2 роки тому

      Yeah you can bargain but not too much tho. If you feel the market man didn't want it very low in your bargain price he sees it losing too much already. Have the feeling too coz they need incomes too for their families and think of their high expenses and industry too being there in full day early and late night. Who knows their day's meals being there is only rice and sardine to save money. 😂That means they think of profit minus expenses that's what they have always being there. If you see them counting always their sales that means they really want income not losing. Have the eyes too coz if you see then not so fatty they actually saving on their meals too. Best thing to do is find out the prices there to know if they price it too high

    The prices of Seafoods in Manila are usually higher or expensive because most of it are shipped from other provinces and islands and some fishermen would venture far out to west phillippine sea to Scarborough shoal for weeks..

  • @1375chelsea

    It’s cheaper if you buy in big quantities. They charge cooking by kilo.
    For half kilo shrimp cooked two ways will of course cost you more.

    I always go and eat there everytime I go home for vacay. For the experience. You guys know all the famous tourist spots in Mla. BGC , Mall of Asia, you should visit Okada and Solaire Casino to show to your viewers what the City offers for Tourist. BGC's condo apartments are bit expensive bec its a high end place to live. Everything you need is just in the corner and very safe place to live. I have 2 1/2 bedroom condo unit there, It's up for rental if we are not there since we are base here in Toronto Canada. Philippines is the best Asian country to live and enjoy retirement. So looking forward for that. Enjoy the experience in the Phil. Stay safe.

They need captions or subtitles now for this tv soap because foreigners are watching, too 😂😂😂. Nice food plating in Seazar resto.
