Street breakfast of casava and some sweet bread buns Our pancake lady wasn't up early enough :) Sumang Kamoteng Kahoy (Cassava Wrapped in Banana Leaves) Casava was nicely presented in the banana leaf. It's sweet sticky and wet tastes like a coconut sweet flour paste. To make just mix sugar coconut and casava, wrap up and steam. It would fill you up pretty quickly.

Philippines has an impressive snack collection. I love these little perforated crackers. I particularly love the name. Sky flakes :) They taste like Jacobs crackers and water biscuits mixed.

These featured on numerous happy occasions this week. Brilliant value at 10 pesos and taste like toffee crisp.

Seadive restaurant. Tonight's special was the fish we adore. Lapu Lapu with garlic rice. The rice was delicious. The promise of seasonal vegetables was amusing. It was 3 pieces of fanned cucumber. The fish was nicely crisply breaded and still really succulent. The teriyaki sauce was nice but not surprised if it was from a jar. They love MSG and short cuts here. Basically ingredients are really hard to find too so it's to be expected.

Seadive restaurant. Alas the Filipino food kept living up to its v moderate expectations. A mixed seasonal vegetable salad with grilled chicken was 1/4 tomato, a few slices of cucumber and a heap of lettuce with dry chicken. Luckily I really like lettuce :). Dressing was store bought ranch.
