Lisa hindi Sarguelas correction please young siniguellas leaves. Champion pa rin sa akin ang paksiw na tawilis or dilis wrapped with cashew leave and soured with sliced fresh mango cooked in a pot with charcoal

Like the rest here, I also have only had crispy fried tawilis and steamed, wrapped in banana leaves. Is this method of wrapping in mango leaves indigenous to any province in the country? :-)

Stef,

Yes indeed this is a very creative dish what with the use of mango leaves . . . This is the first time I’ve experienced eating tawilis this way. The mango leaf aroma indeed permeates the fish. Thanks for the link-up too . . .

Christine,

Just like you, I’ve only eaten crispy fried tawilis before this so it was really an excellent treat! Can’t wait for the next . . . :-)

That looks so good. I’m drooling over the thought of having that with sinangag. I’ve only ever had tawilis coated and deep fried (a favorite of mine at Conrad’s on Domestic Rd and other grill places), but I like paksiw na isda too, so I’m sure this one is excellent.

[...] Lafang’s Paksiw na Tawilis – Tawilis is little fish (read Mike’s entry for further description) — and my parents love this dish; it was an acquired taste for me. They steamed the tawilis in banana leaves and serve it with freshly squeezed kalamansi juice over hot rice. Yum! Mike’s friend, however, used mango leaves to cook this version! Very creative, and makes a lovely presentation. [...]

naku, sarap naman n’yan mike. paborito ‘yan ng magulang ko. but they always cook it in banana leaves, and eat them with a squeeze of kalamansi juice. last time they went home they “smuggled” this into the US from Quezon. mango leaves — how creative! i’ll have to tell them about this. so does the mango leaf aroma permeate the fish?
