Pao- ah, I thought it looked like a mantis shrimp, must have been a wee lil' baby. Have to wait til it grows up to put on the barbie...

THat is what is called "ALUPIHAN DAGAT " or HIPON DAPA"

you boil it then snap the links of the abdomen and the apendages to get to the meat !!!

nice as PULUTAN !!

"boil it" - you charlatan!! Everyone in Hong Kong knows you deep-fry the little suckers with garlic, chilli and pepper!

Yeah, this one was a real midget - only about an inch long. First time I'd see one that size. Can lights pick up loads of stuff on the bottom in a night dive

hmmm that sounds tastier fried in chili pepper !!! just like the crispy baby octopuses and crabs at eastcoast singapore.

Should be not more than P100/kilo, because squid is like P120/kilo.

COme to think of it... i like steamed tatampal better than crabs
