Trinity Seafood Restaurant

After the Alabang Induction we were treated to a seafood lunch at  Macapagal Boulevard: (choose your seafood ).. They cook it for you at Dampa Trinity Restaurant

This is the shop that we went to "Trinity Restaurant" but first, you have to go and pick and choose and buy your own seafood

Outside the entrance to the seafood market

then we walk to the markets,  they are situated in narrow rows of stalls

Francis is out the narrow rows of seafood market

after you have chosen and bought your seafood, they will weigh them and cook for you 

you can choose whatever cooking style you like and they jot it down for the chef

then you wait for the food to be cooked and served to you

we have chosen this long table for all of us, but first, let me bring you to the fish market and let's go marketing

alfie and Steven entering the market

gosh!!! I have never seen so much shellfish in my life!!!

and so  many aquariums!!!

the shellfish and clams  I do not know the name of, let alone eaten them

 Sellers will call out to you and entice you to buy their wares

there are so many stalls and so many sellers!!!

 they will hold up their choicest crabs and ask you to buy!....but I and Francis don't know how to buy, only know how to take photos!!! The following photos are from Francis and his wife......
