• Feasting on Ilonggo Food, Laswa

  Jan 6

  Probably one of the well-loved Ilonggo vegetable dishes is the Laswa. Laswa is a boiled vegetable soup made of squash, okra, shrimp, eggplant, and some greens. This dish is common in Ilonggo-speaking cities like Bacolod and Iloilo.

  

  This ilonggo Food can be closely compared to Luzon’s Bulanglang or Dinengdeng. Although Laswa is rich in nutritional values, one can rarely find a restaurant in Ilonggo-speaking cities like Bacolod or Iloilo that serves this recipe.

  One needs to go to carinderias (hawker stalls) and get a serving of this dish. Or better yet, ask an Ilonggo friend to cook this for you.
