Sinuglaw

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sinuglaw is a dish composed of grilled pork belly and fish ceviche. This can be considered as a main dish or an appetizer. The name “sinuglaw” was derived from two famous cooking methods in the Visayas and Mindanao areas: sugba, meaning to grill; and kinilaw, which means to cook by soaking in vinegar or citric acid.

Who knew that the marriage of “Inihaw na liempo” and “Kinilaw na Tuna” would produce such a fine offspring? This dish, though simple easy to make, is something to die for.

Which restaurants in Manila do you think serve the best Sinuglaw? How about in Cebu and Mindanao?

Try this Sinuglaw recipe and let me know what you think.
