Have you ever imagined if what will be the taste of Hundreds of crabs if their paste will be condensed in a single bottle? Its taste is really delicious!  The essence of the sea itself is contained in a single bottle!  That's why our dish for today is a proud product of the Philippines called Taba ng Talangka.

Taba ng talangka is a famous Filipino product where in it has been exported internationally. Thousands of Talangka (a species of crab where they are smaller compare to commercial crab) are manually squished to extract its and fats.  Then the extracted meat and fats are cook altogether with different spices. It will bow result into a delicious looking orange paste. A rich salty flavor, where a single scoop of spoon can be eated along with a cup of rice! Imagined that flavor!

The Barangay Captain of Bebe Anac Masatol Pampanga: Mr. Gil Navarro, who owns the Navarro's Food International", there we could find our delicious Taba ng Talangka Product.  According To him, he started his business on his own, whenever  his friends would go home from abroad, he would make Taba ng talangka for them. then his friends would sell them to their colleagues in abroad. the demand for the taba ng talangka increased when the foreigner started liking it! truly its taste is world class! Then Mr. Gil started his business "Navarro's Food Inc." which is now "Navarro's Food Intl."

On an interview we asked a person whose name is Manny Moreno, what does the taba ng talangka make you feel? and he said, " Manyaman ya, lalo na nung atin yang Calamansi o kaya naman megisa ya king aslam, manyaman yang pamaris king Nasi" though he also stated that the taste feels like heaven, it result in our body when we eat this food is hell. well it will just dramatically increase our blood pressure and cholesterol :D So be careful when you eat it!

While another person we interviewed named Ms. Ernest Viray said, that its not delicious unless it will be partnered with rice, well as she said we can't totally disagree with her! The taste is just too powerful that if you eat it alone your tongue can not easily handle it.
