These guys were also happy to oblige. They
were cooking fish for a small carinderia
in Ermita. A carinderia - also called turo-turo
sometimes, is an eating place: small, sometimes
just a hole in the wall - where the food is laid out
in trays that sit on a counter (sometimes glassed
in, sometimes not). You look at the food that's available
and you point (ot TURO) at what you would like to eat.
One of the people working there would then put a
portion on a plate, with rice, and you eat at one of
the tables there - usually formica, usually rickety,
and enjoy your meal!
