Sea Grapes

Mar 13th 2009Food and Dining & Food Friday & Money Watch & Philippines & Photos & Urban Living

This is called sea grapes in English but I am used to calling it ar-arusip.

I am not sure how others like to have this but one thing for sure, I love it with sliced fresh tomatoes, sliced onions and sliced green mangoes (not in photo). I would put a little fish sauce (the bagoong) with a little bit of vinegar. Best eaten with fried or grilled fish.

In fact I just had this last Tuesday (not the ones in the photo) for lunch together with shellfish. Yes, I would venture to the nearby talipapa for this kind of “side dish” 😀

Yum!

    sa bisaya, we call it “lato” emphasis on the last syllable and it’s a good source of calcium. 🙂 Love that.

    we call them as “lato”… love eating them (including my eldest)! we just add a bit of calamansi juice and that’s it! 🙂

    thanks for playing, T. Julie
