In Metro Manila while in a restaurant, I seldom order sea
shells like scallops if not for a special occasion or a celebration. Simply
because those are expensive while special occasions are once in a blue moon for
me.

I am already contented with what I see inside a restaurant that decorates
its walls, corners or façade with sea shells. I like the interior design of
Little Quiapo restaurant in Quezon City. Inside the restaurant is homey
atmosphere. The restaurant is not so huge but a lot of people go there for
lunch because of affordable food.
It is said that Little Quiapo has established
its name since 1949.

When I visited Lapu Lapu City, I was stunned by the sea
foods there. The sea foods that I almost feared to eat in Metro Manila for
being afraid of escalating bills are abundant in Lapu Lapu City. The empty sea
shell which I pictured as decoration in Little Quiapo can be eaten and is
called “saang” by locals. I told myself, “this is it!” And it was not just true
but more than true to be full.
