While we are eating, the owner of the restaurant comes around selling something slimy in small white cups, saying it's extra, meaning you have to buy it. She said it's a local specialty, has health benefits adn goes well with spicy vinegar. (another Filipino favourite). I bought a cup. This is Tamiloc. It did taste fishy and was rather slimy, so I had only two or three. My co passengers finished the rest. Its after I reached Dubai and did some research on the net that i realized what tamiloc was. Tamiloc is mangrove worm. Technically a bivalve, Tamiloc is an exotic food popular in the island of Palawan. Just the thought of ingesting it can threaten to upset even the toughest of stomachs. So although unknowingly, I did it! First balut in Davao, now Tamiloc (worm) in PP. Yeeesh! Tamiloc can be labeled as seafood because it is harvested from the roots of Mangrove trees.(Puerto Princesa, Philippines, May 2013)
