(DSC01837) Secret Ingredients to Great Kinilaw (Philippine ceviche): local lime called "biasong" (Citrus macroptera var. micrantha or Citrus micrantha) & "tabon-tabon" (Hydrophytune orbiculatum or Atuna racemosa), a brown hard-shelled fruit that's said to remove fishy smells and prevent stomach upset. (Taken from http://eatingasia.typepad.com/eatingasia /2008/02/sea-to-mouth.html) ... Kinilaw is Filipino raw-fish salad that's extremely popular in the Southern Visayas region. It's similar to a Ceviche and is served as a side dish, but is an excellent appetizer. It's refreshing, tasty and a great party dish (Taken from http://www.ehow.com/how_2307908_make-kin ilaw-.html) ... Kinilaw - a culinary term of the Visayan language in the Philippines, becomes kilawin or kilawen in other languages. It refers to fresh, uncooked fish briefly marinated in vinegar so that it is transformed from rawness to the very next stage while retaining translucence. It is thus fish ‘cooked in sourness’ (technically, in acetic acid) and then enhanced with such condiments as onions, ginger, and chilli. Archaeological evidence has proven kinilaw to be about 1,000 years old, and therefore indigenous to the Philippine Islands. The Balangay excavation in Butuan City (carbon-dated to the period of the 10th–13th century AD) uncovered fishbones cut the way they are today, in association with halves of the fruit known locally as "tabon-tabon", also cut the way they are today for kinilaw. This fruit (Hydrophytune orbiculatum) is known locally as "tabon-tabon" and used in Mindanao both to remove the fishy, raw taste from kinilaw, and to prevent stomach upsets.
