Apan-Apan
Apan-apan is an Ilonggo favorite and an authentic dish within the Ilonggo region. It is closest to Adobong kangkong, a well-known dish within the Tagalog region. As an Ilonggo I’d say that Apan-apan is much much more flavorful and mouthwatering because of Ginamos. Ginamos is extremely close to Bagoong Alamang but a far cry from bagoong. Apan-apan Recipe is extremely easy and simple to cook, great to get a fast meal. Prepare much more rice when you cook this dish, you’ll certainly crave for more!
