    Does anyone love this stuff as I do? Anywhere u know that makes it in the UK? Apart from the similar chinese version.

    Last time we were in the phils, there wasn't a magtatahô that went near our house. So the family went closer to the city to find one. I guaranteed him 50 pesos a day if he came to our house. So at 5.30 every morning he came and filled up my "sports direct" pint sized mug!

    I think the best tahô I've ever had was from a magtatahô right next to the Harbor View Restaurant at Manila Bay while watching the sun go down. Masarap!!! A memorable evening!

    By the way, that's a good restaurant to go to if you want a romantic evening with your mahal.

    Ha ha thanks Micawber. Yes, I've seen them before (lol I sound like Cynthia Barker!). I was just looking for an excuse to go on a trip. I'm the sort of guy who'll do a 1200 mile round trip primarily so my wife can have langoustines at the Summer Isles Hotel in Achiltibuie!

    Have you been? Right out on the coast in the middle (or the end) of nowhere but the food from the michelin star chef is fantastic. The fresh langoustines caught in front of the hotel in the delicate cream and white wine sauce are just...wow...oh and the mussels are pretty special too! Oh boy I'm tempted to fill up the car and go now! Ha ha
