  1. wow! it looks so good! I too am cooking laing here in the UK and a lot of Pinoys love it! In fact, I have been asked to cook for some Christening lunch twice already.

    Since shrimps are quite expensive here, I use smoked mackerel fillets, which are very savoury. I will try to follow your advice about not stirring the dish within the first few minutes of cooking.

    thanks for posting!

  5. Yong recipe nangailangan ito ng 2 cups pure coconut milk (kakang gata) at 6 cups na diluted. kong powder ang gagamitin mo at least 4 cups ang kailangan mo. diluted in 6 to 8 cups of water. reserve ka lang ng mga 2 cups para idagdag mo pag malapit ng maluto pang kulang ka pa sa gata pwede rin naman dadagan pa. Good luck

  8. Hi Arlene, Pwede rin hindi na lagyan ng bagoong alamang lalo na kong pork at may hipon pa ang sahog, pan dagdag lasa kasi and alamang.
