Kinilaw

February 4, 2009

   

Another delicious kinilaw version aside from fish has originated in Navotas and Cavite. .  This is Kinilaw na Talaba. It is raw oysters, in vinegar, chilis, onions, pepper and salt. It is also very good with cucumber.  I tasted this during one my drinking session last week. This was very delicious and I goes very well with my favorite white wine, GATO BLANCO.  This was given to my uncle by his brother-in-law who is from Navotas.  Navotas and Cavite are places where there is an ample supply of oysters.

 

Where to find

 

This is common in coastal areas and you can have this prepared by the people who live there.  Rarely that you will find it served in restaurants but you can request.  For me, I suggest you have it prepared by yourself because there are some factors that might give you an upset stomach specially that this is raw.  Make sure also that there’s no red tide if you are to taste this very delicious delicacy.  Caution:  Eat this with stomach full. Never eat it if you are hungry. For those whose stomach is not yet strong when it comes to raw food, make sure that you have your medication within reach.  I experienced it already and the pain will make you very weak.  Right now, I got immune to it already. No more pains,  only pleasure in eating oysters. Pero, ingat parin.  J
