Natúk: A Taste of Home!

I’ve been craving libas for months! That mouthwatering fusion of sour libas leaves with coconut milk and loads of siling labuyo. So delish!

I know what you’re thinking – especially you, Daddy. Normal cravings lang ‘to, hindi ako naglilihi. No new apo coz I’m not pregnant. Bleh!

It’s just, we’ve been here in Samar for a while now and I really miss home. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a feast with all the fresh salt-water produce. But, a Bicolana just needs to have her gulay with gata – plus plenty of sili!

Libas Online!

I saw Natúk’s Libas sa Gata online and it made me curious. After a few taps, I found out that the makers are from my hometown. Only means that these guys know what they’re doing.

Excited ako! I ordered on Lazada. A 200g glass jar costs P165.

How was it, you ask?

It’s exactly what I was hoping for. My craving was indeed satisfied. It starts with a delightful sour taste followed by a creamy leafy flavor. It then leaves you with a subtle spicy pinch. Surrraaapp!

Tastes like home!

Fair warning, though. If you’re trying to lose weight or on a diet, this is not for you! Because I am certain na mapaparami ang kain mo, mumshie.

You can enjoy it as a main dish with a cup of rice – or three! Hahaha! It’s also great as a side to other viands like fried fish. Below are photos of how I enjoyed my jar of happiness:
