I am impressed, Doc!….VERY RESOURCEFUL!!!

Hey, Doc…since you are alreadfy in Palawan…try subbing the winter melon with ripe PAPAYA….but not the soft , mushy one…ripe but still firm. It adds a bit of sweeteness to the soup!

Simple yet classy … I see a marketman trademark all over it :)

Connie/E that is so clever….my p. grandma used to pickle the watermelon rind and then made soup with them when they were ready…missed those…unfortunately, none of us learned that ‘recipe’ from her…..kundol reminds me of kundol hopia, too….yummy! Betty, do you know how to make those hopia?

If I don’t have kundol, I use the thick white part of a watermelon, peeled of course of the green skin, cubed in large chunks and stored in the freezer for when a rainy day comes to throw in my tinola or a similar soup as posted here.

Anong say mo, Betty Q?
