These Chinese food businesses have direct contacts with wholesalers and manufacturers and get real cheap deals with them. Because they buy in bulk. At times they even buy straight from farms or fish ports, like the one at Malabon and Navotas Well, other Pinoy food businessmen are catching up with this, fast.

By the way, wanna have a meal of cheap fresh seafood grilled before your eyes? They have dinner hut nooks at the Malabon fish port you'll truly love. This happens early in the morning, though, at 3 or 4 am. I think they also have this late at night. Ciao!
