PINANGAT FESTIVAL
Camalig, Albay

Highlight of this festival is the “Pinangat Street Dancing competition” followed by competitions on Pinangat Burger Eating and Pinangat Cooking. Pinangat is a nutritious vegetable dish whose main ingredients include shredded gabi leave, a bit of red ginger, tiny shrimps or krill (balaw) or a slice of salted fish (kanduli) or pork. Crushed pepper (siling labuyo) is added to the mixture to make the pinangat hot. The entire recipe is then wrapped in gabi leaves and tied in small bundles. These are placed in a palayok and cooked in coconut milk.
