Laswa and lobo-lobo: What a combo!

It was another healthy combination for lunch today as I feasted on laswa and "tortang" lobo-lobo . Everybody (now) knows that laswa is a popular Ilonggo vegetable dish that consists of an assortment of vegetables stewed? with a seafood of choice. Mostly it would be shrimps, crabs or bago-ngon . But among the more popular " lakot " would be pinakas nga guma-a (halved, salted and dried guma-a fish) that would also help in flavouring the dish. Lobo-lobo on the other hand are tiny fishes (as small as kalkag or alamang). As I have blogged before I only know two ways of cooking them, one if torta and the other is sinabawan with thse lobo-lobo wrapped in banana leaves. But this one seems to have combine both.

Lobo lobo and dalupani

Lobo-lobo I dont dont why it came to be called as such, but lobo-lobo is good for torta or sinabawan with kamatis and sibuyas , provided you wrapped them in banana leaves or else you'll end up with an unappetizing dish. Dalupani I consider this to be the big brother of sap-sap. Looks almost the same and it can be cooked much alike, sinabawan, sinugba and pinirito , as shown
