Sea Grapes
Mar 13th 2009greenbucksFood and Dining & Food Friday & Money Watch & Philippines & Photos & Urban Living
This is called sea grapes in English but I am used to calling it ar-arusip.
I am not sure how others like to have this but one thing for sure, I love it with sliced fresh tomatoes, sliced onions and sliced green mangoes (not in photo). I would put a little fish sauce (the bagoong) with a little bit of vinegar. Best eaten with fried or grilled fish.
In fact I just had this last Tuesday (not the ones in the photo) for lunch together with shellfish. Yes, I would venture to the nearby talipapa for this kind of “side dish” ![]()
Yum!

Love that.
