is another quintessential Bicolano dish. Taro leaves — along
with bits of pork, ginger, garlic, onion and coconut milk — are boiled to
a certain soft consistency in a casserole, then simmered until the pork
is tender. Shrimp paste and chili pepper are added. Local chefs advise
against stirring the pot, so that the itchiness of the taro leaves doesn’t
spread to the other ingredients. Try it at Bob Marlin Restaurant and Grill,
Magsaysay Ave, Naga City, Camarines Sur; tel: +63 (54) 473 1339.
