Notes
Roxas City takes pride of its bountiful fresh catch from the sea. It is not
surprising that the city’s flagship recipes feature seafood as the main
ingredient. This recipe made of tiger prawns and crab paste is everyone’s
well-loved guilty pleasure. That explains why it is almost always present at the fiesta buffet. It is so good, especially when downed with lots of steamed
white rice and consumed with bare hands.
