GT:BALIG-ANG
For sure not everyone knows "BALIG-ANG". Because just this week we`re on the shuttle, when I mention it, then they laugh and tease me, if I belong on some tribe like in the AMAYA teleserye.
Actually, it`s Lipote (Syzygium curranii) a fruit species. But often called by the locals as BALIG-ANG OR IGOT. It`s a native fruit here in the Philippines, and it is more common in my own province, Bicol. This is a tree bearing fruit, the tree is almost same size with the Pili and Mango tree. But, Balig-ang fruit is in cluster, in small round shape, at first it was white in color and it turns to dark purple when already ripe.
The best way eating Balig-ang is, put it on a tupperware add some salt and sugar, then shake it, until juice extracted blended with the salt and sugar, and it`s called "NILUNG-GONG". Weird right?.... hahahah
i think i saw this fruit somewhere but have not got a chance to taste it.
I think that one is also called as "duhat" if I'm not mistaken. Visiting from GT here's mine http://journeyofacapricornian.blogspot.com/2011/10/dinakdakan_12.html
