Papaitan

This what separates the men from the boys. It's meant to be served extremely spicy. This is a very good pulutan for the heavy drinkers for it provides warmth for them palates. It's bitter, sour taste will have you craving for more. I don't know a single drinker who doesn't like this dish. It's also good the morning after a night of partying. If you hadn't tasted this dish yet, it's a must try.
