Singkamas at Bagoong

07/04/2010 By

Singkamas and bagoong is one of the Filipino street foods that are peddled along with Mangga at Bagoong, Fish Balls, Squid Balls, and Chicken Balls. You might not get the big picture since not all vendors sell all these items in their cart – but our trusted vendor has them all. He is like a rolling street food store wherein you can purchase almost all the street foods that you are craving for; he sure knows his Marketing 101.

This street food is usually placed in a gigantic jar skewered and soaked in water. Since singkamas (jicama) has a very mild flavor, all you will taste is the delicious flavor of the bagoong. Don’t get me wrong, singkamas plays an important role here; it neutralizes the salinity and provides a crunchy texture which makes eating more enjoyable.

Have you tried Singkamas and Bagoong before? What do you like most about this?

    KUng bakit napakasarap ng kombinasyong ito. I knew I cannot live without the bagoong. Bagoong pa lang ulam na. I found your site while researching for some UBE recipes. I am delighted and proud to see the Filipinos outside the country are making the Filipino cuisine alive around the world. Kudos! You are doing a great job. Ive spent quite a lot of time at your site. Did enjoy myself.I hope you will allow me to feature on my blog some interesting recipes that you have like some of my favorites ( leche flan, cassave cake, ube, crema de fruta at iba pa). Right now I placed a link for your site on my blog.
    Hope to hear from you soon. Ingat!

    yes i missed that singkamas n bagoong the manila way kumbaga, kc dito sa cagayan de oro (where i live now) di uso ang pagmarket ng ganyan and bihira din ang singkamas plus iba rin ang pagluto nila ng bagoong (uyap). Still i love that basta available lng.

    hallo po,
    i am always looking on this website when I want to cook, cos starting palang po ako sa cooking :)

    Thanks pala sa initiative and effort mo dito kuya…panalo….the best….

    Ask ko lang,paano ba ginawa ang alamang dito sa feature na ito or kahit doon sa alamang at mangga? Kasi wala akong makita na steps to make the alamang to pair with singkamas and mangoes…..
    Sana mabigyan nyo ako ng steps kung paano ito magawa.

    Greetings from Aachen Germany
