How come all that fat that I see is that nice soft-yellowish kind? Hardly any of my beef has that... What's the difference and its' cause?

The age. Grassfed beef must be old (more than 3 years) to accumulate fat. Grainfed beef fatten faster.

I think it depends on where the cow is raised. Maybe the grass fed fat in the Philippines will be different because of the tropical plants and lush greens all year round? IDK though.

Eating green grass gives the fat the yellow colour, means it's grass-finished beef. I get it once/year from my farmer supplier, otherwise the fat (back fat)is always from his neighbours, all  grass feed, none grass finished. I don't know what the neighbours feed their cattle, and I don't want to know.

Wow!    That's one huge farmer's market. Much bigger than the one we have here in Vermont, USA. And the stalls are so packed with food. Just one of the stalls probably holds as much as 1/3 of the entire farmer's market here. Most of our stalls just have a handful of items put out on them and the rest is packed away and pulled out as needed.

I hope some day that people in the USA embrace farmer's markets again.

I'll have to zip in the ins and outs of this market in a future video, there's more.
This is an everyday market.  This is why I moved my office here.
Beef is always freshly killed at 12 midnight and served here for sale at 5am.
Sea food is just as fresh and with some species, alive.

... The usual types of food that are thought of as "ethnic" around here at such places tend to involve grains and other plant foods and cooking, such as gyro sandwiches, pastries, rice dishes, fried fish, avocado, breadfruit, jams, spices, pickled items, etc. ...

    Have you seen breadfruits raw?  There are only two varieties I know of.  The ones with the seeds the size of chestnuts, and the ones with the tiny little nothing seeds. 

    There's a big difference between ripe, semi-ripe and non-ripe.  Breadfruit seem to be in the category of latex fruit (they pour white sticky stuff, real sticky).  I suppose they could be made into flour for a non-gluten bread (if one were to eat bread), or maybe it could be fermented into some type of porridge.  The ripe ones are nice raw, but you never find a good ripe one.

For sure.  I've given up on finding a nice one that can be eaten raw.
