true, we could only get romaine greens at Tagaytay markets before (Gourmet’s)… now it’s available here at Manila supermarkets, though not as fresh :)

We do a bastardized version at home using what I find at the grocery labelled “Green Ice” but usually buy by the bunch at the wet market. We render fat from thinly-sliced liempo simply salted. The lettuce is sliced thinly and tossed in a bowl with diced de-seeded tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped (very) soft-boiled eggs. In a separate bowl, a mix of vinegar and patis is whisked together. Once the liempo is taken out of the pan and the heat turned off, the vinegar and patis is thrown into the pan and the whole thing is poured onto the greens and tossed.

We serve this with the now-crisp liempo, and lots of hot white rice. =)

Nice looking greens! May I know where Nico sells his produce? Pamela, I used to order organic veggies from personalfarmet.net whose farm is in Bukidnon. Used to be sent via PAL but they stopped selling retail. It comes to me in very good state… like freshly picked. Maybe this farm can sell to a wholesaler in CDO. Over here, I’m envious that Quezon City people seem to have more access to cheaper and varied organic produce than us in Alabang, Paranaque area. :(

Love this salad. Especially when the yolk sort of emulsifies with the dressing to create a messy mayo-like dressing
