Boil the coconut milk or gata together with the bagoong. After the first boil, add the crabs and when it's almost done (say, a minute or so to go) add the coconut cream or kakang gata. yum!

In Zamboanga, if we ever cook our bagoong at all, it's with gata. That's why it's called Bagon Gata (bagon being the chavacano word for bagoong). It's bagoong with shrimps a weeny bit bigger than the usual, gata, a touch of sugar and tomatoes. Just stew them together (my mom peels the tomatoes first before adding it into the stew) and stir once in a while until the gata evaporates...in about thirty or so minutes the gata will turn or render into oil and it's done. She sends me her homemade version all the time. :) I’m from Zamboanga and I never thought you’ve actually tasted Alavar’s bagoong already, MM.

Bagoong is that not made from anchovies and it has purplish brownish colour? Alamang is a shrimp paste with pikish colour. Just a thought…
