Halaan (clam) soup

Halaan (clam) soupWe spent yesterday at the Greenhills Shopping Center. I was planning on getting supplies for my computer but since the kids were with us, we ended up at the tiangge (flea market) instead. Then, it was too late to go to the computer shops. We still needed to go to the supermarket and then the wet market after that. It was late in the afternoon when we finished with the supermarket. The kids fell asleep almost immediately after getting into the car. My husband suggested we visit the newly-opened “Market Market” at Global City in Fort Bonifacio, a shopping mall and wet market in one complex. We went there but couldn’t find a place to park. “Market Market” is not even fully operational yet. And the crowd was… people from the nearby neighborhoods were arriving on foot. All we saw was the outside of the complex and an endless sea of cars and people. We decided we’d come back another day. Since we still needed to buy our weeks’ supply of fish and seafood, we proceeded to good old trusty Taytay public market.

It was around 5.00 p.m. when we reached Taytay. Despite the lateness of the hour, the place was still teeming with seafood. I had to go in alone since the hubby had to stay in the car with the sleeping kids. With the succession of typhoons past us, yesterday’s seafood prices were reasonable. With PhP 500.00 (less than US $ 10.00) I was able to buy 1-1/4 kilos of hito (catfish), 1-1/2 kilos of tilapia (St. Peter’s fish), a big bangus that weighed over a kilo, 3/4 kilo of alumahan, half a kilo of halaan (clams) and some vegetables. Dinner last night was fried hito and halaan soup with lots of sili leaves.

    Isabel, tabasco is a brand of chili sauce. Chili leaves means the fresh green leaves of the plant.
