I love the outdoors. I love real good food. This blog is a tribute to all outdoor geeks like me who enjoy hiking, diving, cycling, walking, pondering as well as cooking great food in the great outdoors.

lato
Lato or "sea grapes". First time I tasted this wonderful food from the sea is in Taganak, Island Tawi Tawi. Best served with lime or vinegar, the lato melts in your mouth. This batch I got it here in QC one evening I saw it in the fish market. I know that it melts when it is not fresh. This one was just off the basket coming from the province. I asked the vendor where it came because you can only find these kind in the islands or in Palawan. She said that it just came in from Lucena. I was thankful that we were able to have this salad at the dinner table for only 20 pesos. So happy! The last time I had lato for dinner was at Ka Lui in Puerto Princessa.
