Tinapa or smoked fish, a filipino native delicacy and a favorite breakfast too.
This tinapa haven is just in front of the Quiapo church at Plaza Miranda, different kinds of tinapa to choose from and for only 20 pesos per tumpok.
A man buying some tinapa, notice the hand folding what seems to be a page of an old book? Usually tinapa fish are wrapped in a piece of paper (some uses old newspaper) before sealing it in a plastic bag. So have you ever tried tinapa before? And would you know why there is such a filipino expression "Anak ng tinapa!"?

Believe it or not, I don't really like fish so much just to grab one and eat it smoked or fresh, but these actually made my stomach growl as if I am looking for a smoked fish to eat.
The photography is just plain well done.

I wonder too what 'anak ng tinapa' means, I once said it out of nowehere to my son and hubby heard it then asked me...tinapa ka ba? lol. Enjoy!
This smoked fish look familiar. We have it too in my country. Very lively angle.
Now that made me miss Quiapo especially the church...
