Completely forgot to post about this fantastic discovery: that JT's Manukan serves pinangat! It's a Bicolano dish made of fish (or shrimp) wrapped in taro leaves and cooked in coconut milk.

When I first tried this dish in Naga several years ago, I instantly fell in love with it. It's savory and creamy but not cloying. So I'm incredibly happy that JT's has this in their menu! 💃
