Tami Lok (Wood Worm)

Tamilok is a mangrove worm that is not exactly a worm. Although it looks like one, it is actually a mangrove-boring mollusk. Palawans natural resources boosts of large mangrove areas. The secret to making the experience authentically Palawan is to put the fork aside, then pick and dip the tamilok by hand. Chances are, with just one bowl of tamilok, you might not know how many bottles you will be able to finish. I had an officemate before who liked Kinabuchs as his watering hole because of tamilok, not to mention that he was really a hard drinker. One fact that is revealed about tamilok from the many testimonials of tamilok-lovers: is that drinking becomes more engaging with tamilok as pulutan. Despite all the praises the tamilok gets, I advise that you watch out for the burps that is not so nice. Otherwise, when you are ready for the experience of a lifetime, this is a food for the brave, the bold, the daring YOU.
