Video: How to fry Pinoy Fish Tilapia and Ginisang Ampalaya

I’ll eat this fried tilapia with kamatis and bagoong alamang (shrimp paste) under the mango tree 😉

Ampalaya is also known as Bitter melon.

Wikipedia:

Momordica charantia is a tropical and subtropical vine of the family Cucurbitaceae, widely grown for edible fruit, which is among the most bitter of all vegetables. English names for the plant and its fruit include bitter melon or bitter gourd (translated from Chinese: ??; pinyin: kugua)

The original home of the species is not known, other than that it is a native of the tropics. It is widely grown in South and Southeast Asia, China, Africa, and the Caribbean.
