Wayne Kerr’s Masinloc Jaunt - Philippines

[Jock Itch]

Nice story wayne ! - I'm sure your mate John the mango Farmer from up north would be drooling at those mango trees !!.
Those shellfish look mighty tasty ! - though how do they compare to the Dingo donger sipunculid worms ??
Looked like a great place to stay; though I assume the necessity of someone wielding a hand cannon would make the nights a little less relaxing !!

Looking foreward to catching up soon and hope there's some Tanduay Rum left over for my visit !!

[Sir Burr]

Tanduay rum is excellent. Why didn't you get the Tanduay Anejo? Just a bit more and it's aged. Very mellow.

[sabang]

Yeh, I wish Thailand had Tanduay instead of Mekhong.

Yes, Jock, I like the Mango trees. Nice to sit under those big buggers, but not very productive generally. If they are, you need long poles to harvest the pea sized fruit.

Hope to catch you in LOS.

Thought it'd be good for SEO . But really Scam, the shells in the pic are the delicious. 25 p/kg in Masinloc, about 500/kg in Manila, and more than 5,000 in southern China. Wrap your laughing gear around em if you can find some mate.

Jock Itch and JLP, lots of Tanduay left, but I'd just about give my left testicle for a nice bottle of Bundy OP, hint, hint .

Very good spotting Gos. My mate has parties there, hence the lights hanging off the mango trees, gets bands in on the grass and thats where they all sit around drinking and dancing .

Is the airport in manilla even worse of a security nightmare now or have we only just caught up with them?

I was there in 2002 and there were 7 different security bag / ticket / body searches between the front door and the plane.


Ah San Miguel! the real deal not the scabby stuff thats brewed in Pathum Thani or Nontaburi or where ever the hell it is.

Yeah, I guess we've caught up with em mate. Still gotta take ya shoes and belt off (I'm pretty good at that like anyway ). No need to take your laptop out of the bag like at Suvarnaphumi these days ... nothing pisses me off more than having to take my computer out of its bag. Does anyone else get upset by this or is it just me?

... too right old mate, up in Masinloc it was in the recycled bottles with the painted logo on em all. The friggin delicious .

[cujo]

That looks awesome. Do those trees still bear fruit?

I woke up to many a hangover after overindulging in Tanduay

[MeMock]

yikes

had a few teeth cleanings with no complaints

[quote=Wayne Kerr;364833]Anyway, back to the road …

I made the trip to suss some shellfish that have just popped up on the upper west coast of the Philippines. They’ve only ever been found in the border area of China and Vietnam, and are sold for an absolute fortune in southern China.

This is what they look like and I can assure you they are the absolute delicious.


^ I’m talking about the ones on the top of the plate. Avoid the big ones on the bottom of the page unless you have good teeth … they are as chewy as hell.


I realise this is an old thread but you are 100% correct about the small ones - cost a fortune in Taiwan as well !
Wrong about the big ones though !!
Marinate them overnight in local rice spirit and pineapple juice - pop them under the grill n the morning - bloody wonderful !

A good report keep them cumming......
