Zamboanga’s Food
KURMA
Kurma is a popular dish in the city. It is the local version of curry. My helping of kurma had the best texture and just the right amount of spice, which was probably caused by the careful braising of the meat in coconut milk during the preparation of the dish.
LATO
We were served a plate of lato, or the local term for sea grapes. The seaweed clusters were salty, and they were accompanied with unripe mangoes and a sauce created with a combination of shrimp paste and coconut milk.
SATTI
One of our favorite dish is the local version of barbecue like, called Satti. The chicken and beef strips were grilled to crisp perfection. It was served with rice cooked inside woven coconut leaves. Like the two previous dishes, this dish was smothered in a thick spicy sauce.
CHUPA KULO
A traditional food.The Chupa Kulo is a dish of cooked snails served with a thick, sauce-like broth made from squash and coconut milk. The snails were not deshelled so the meat stayed moist and flavorful inside. Eating the snail meat required sucking it out of the shell.
LOKOT LOKOT
This delicacy was one of my favorites. Also called Zamboanga Rolls, this dessert, usually eaten as a snack, is made from fine rice flour and water. The thick mixture is then poured into a strainer with small holes and then rolled and fried in a pan. These crispy rolls had a very light and pleasing taste like wafer.
