Ay ke sarap sarap ng sigarilyas…. Anyway back on March 2012 nagtanim ako ng sigarilyas sa 20 seeds na tinanim ko, dalawa lang ang tumubo sa isang butas pa na pinag taniman ko..yong iba hindi na survived dahil siguro sa init or ewan ko samantalang mag kakatabi naman sila at parehong lupa ang pinag taniman ko.. deniritso ko nang tinanim sa lupa instead na sa paso, but anyway to make the story short, nitong October 2012 namulak lak ng maraming marami. then around November, wowwwwwwwwww ke dami daming bunga ng sigarilyas ang sipag mamunga ng sigrarilyas, kaya ngayon sawang sawa ako sa kak aharvest ng sigarilyas parang patula at sitaw masipag mamanunga…… mabuti nalang maganda ang weather dito sa Tx, sana mamunga siya for the whole year.. can someone tell me kung how much the sigarilyas per pound? gusto ko kasing mag benta nito ini isip ko baka sampo sa isang tali for a 1.00 or 1.50? you think mahal? ang lalaki at ang hahaba organic pa dahil wala akng nilalagay.. kaya ako nag tatanong kasi di ko alam how much per pound, kasi wala akng makitang sigarilyas anywhere dito sa oriental market store.. thank you very much..

you can also add shrimps and minced pork and top it off with some dried, crunchy, spicy/sweet pusit flakes!

Where do you shop for veg? I can never seem to find sigarilyas this fresh.

It’s indeed superb! These wing-bean is very common in my place and we just use or eat it in a usual way. I love your salad. I must try it. Thanks for another healthy and easy to do salad.

millet, glad you enjoyed it. I too was blown away by its simplicity and delicious results. Glad to hear kalamansi works well, now we can all enjoy this salad year round… anonymous paul, yes these would be nice with peanuts (they were in the original recipe) but I didn’t have any around when I made the salad a few days ago…

MM, just want to tell you i made this for lunch today and, paired with fried fish, it was great! we loved it! the shrimp i put were a little too big, so i will split them lengthwise next time. also, since real dayap are hard to find here, i used calamansi juice for the dressing, and added a little grated biasong rind. the biasong have very little juice and are almost all seeds. the coconut cream tied all the flavors together and gave it a nice finish. this is definitely going to be a mainstay in our veggie repertoire.

by the way, the gulay vendor said that lately, foreigners have been buying a lot of sigarilyas, for its purported health benefits.

YES, YES, YES, too, Gej!!! …would love to plant those. In fact, besides my plots, I have a little 4by 6 plot in what we call the experimental beds. That would be so neat to plant a few seeds in that plot and introduce other gardeners to a BAHAY KUBO (Nipa HOuse translation?) type of gardening? There are also quite a few Pinay gardeners in the community garden as well as Indonesian/Malaysian gardeners.

@gej, i was always at a loss about ‘sigarilyas’ in that song– we called it ‘pallang’ from my neck of the woods ; we learn something everyday.

Wow betty q1 Excited. I’ll come up with a collection of Pinoy veggie seeds for you as as well. Want a “Bahay Kubo” (…sigarilyas at mani, sitaw, bataw, patani ….) garden in Vancouver?

one of my fav thai salads. try throwing fried, salted skin-on peanuts next time. also a thinner coconut cream works better so things don’t clump up. I’ve made this a few times and didn’t turn out too ok because the sigarilyas available would be so tough and fibrous. best to work with young and tender ones like you did.
