Last Sunday, Father's Day, we had a simple lunch at home. We had Crabs in coconut with Lupu leaves from Ilo-ilo, and this really good pickled Papaya with Bitter Gourd and String Beans. That's a different way of preparing Atchara.. My Tita Ging2x in Ilo-ilo made it and sent some when my parents and party left along with some Lupu leaves that only grows in Ilo-ilo.
Well, see the pictures? You do not need to have PD measured just to appreciate how mouth watering they are. And by God's grace, they are indeed good. Not just in pictures but for real.. Too bad, they are all gone now, lol..

i didn't know lupu can be mixed with crabs and gata. i should tell my mom--she loves lupu! and no, it doesn't grow only in Ilo-ilo...we have lupu in Negros and 2 weeks ago, my mom got lupu from the market [in Pasig]--galing daw sa Antipolo. i'm sure it's all over the Philippines, di lang nila kilala.:p
ReplyDelete@Chubs, Belated Happy birthday ulit---
ReplyDelete@Luna, wow.. nice to know it;s all over the Philippines. And you are right, we may not know what it's called.. but here in Cagayan de Oro, wala talagang Lupu.. it was highly recommended by my father's relatives, he and my mom were given seedlings to plant in our home garden.. hope dadami sila..
