thanks for the coconut shell presentation idea. it sure would be a hit dish in a party, imagine, an ordinary sitaw at kalabasa sa gata being served in a half buco shell…and with squash flowers too. whew! really fancy schmancy! anyway, i really love this dish, being a gata lover. i like it pinoy-style with shrimps or alimasag, sometimes a small amount of bagoong in the gata. canned gata works as well too, esp. if it’s the thai brand.

i love this dish. preferable with lots of kangkong and sauce to spoon over steaming rice. also reminds me of this bicolano food festival i went to a few weeks ago.

This is my comfort food :) It’s usually served with fried tilapia in my house, pero it’s perfect with anything fried. I remember eating this with the kalabasa mashed into my rice :)

Like Frayed, I wonder why Pinoy food hasn’t reached the popularity of Thai, Viet, Indo, and Malay food. I’d like to know when this was discussed. I always have problem where to bring my guests for authentic, good Pinoy food.
