Paksiw na Bisugo

Paksiw na Bisugo
Paksiw na Isda is usually topped with ampalaya and eggplant. The vegetables are supposed to be steam during the cooking of the fish. The juices from the vegetables are infused to the paksiw, which enhance the flavor of the fish, specially the bitterness of the ampalaya. I like to drizzle with some cooking oil to the dish to neutralize the sourness.
