Bagoong alamang or also known as
shrimp paste is my favorite for dipping green mangoes. Here in the Philippines
it is really a great combination for unripe mangoes and what I like the most
was Indian mangoes which is available in summer season.
I also do like shrimp paste in
kare-kare which is a famous dish here. But anyway I will be posting kare-kare
some other time, but for now I have to talk about green mangoes. This was given
to us by our auntie in Sta. Rosa Laguna where they have mango trees which keep
on growing sweet green Indian mangoes.
I remember when we were kids; we
just wash off these mangoes and eat it straight away without using any knife
for removing the peel. Now that my teeth are already weak after I gave birth, I
can’t do the same thing.
I do like shrimp paste that are
spicy hot, but this one on the photo was without chili because my family would
not like much chili on it.
