Kinunot na Pating (baby shark in coconut milk) at Samaral restaurant in Laguna
It's been almost a year that I am in between-jobs since we left Singapore. And I'm not sure
if I love being just a simple housewife. To tell you the truth, I started earning my own
money since 2'nd year in UP- Diliman and I've been a corporate slave since I earned my
bachelors degree. Being a house-wife is a mix of emotions, I am happy to stay at home and
do some house chores and cook for my husband and learn the ropes of cake and bread baking.
But there are times when I just stare at the ceiling wondering if my brains are still
functioning or will any company hire me again. Today, I have decided to find a job and
ways to make money :-) I need to look for a book about Warren Buffet. We are considering
investing but my husband and I do not know where to start. Any tips on investing, anyone?
Oh well, those are just some thoughts running in my mind before I decided to go on with
this post. Yesterday, we have posted Gising gising which is a hot and spicy vegetable
dish. Today we are posting Kinunot na Pating. Another fiery hot ginataan dish. Are we
going to post ginataan dishes this week? Since we already did for 2 consecutive days, why
not? So Ginataan it is for this week.
Kinunot may be considered as an exotic dish originating from the Bicol region since the
main ingredients for this dish, aside from the coconut milk, are fishes like pating (shark)
and pagi (sting-ray). What makes this dish interesting is that, like its relative
the Laing which is also a Bicol delicacy, this dish is awesomely and deliciously fiery hot. So
better prepare a few liters of fresh milk or any milk drink fresh milk to cool off the heat of
this fiery fish dish. Before I forgot, the name kinunot comes from the word kunot which
literally means shredded or to shred.
By the way, the baby shark we cooked doesn't belong to the endangered species of shark :-
) and we didn't waste anything, well, except for the innards its fish bones and skin, and
some of its fins .
