Baked Imbao of Hukad
I had my first taste of Baked Imbao (clam) on Mai’s blowout in Hukad. (Thanks, mai.)
Baked Imbao tasted okay.
But the ultimate fate of being a second choice just had to happen to Baked Imbao. It was bound for comparison with Baked Scallops, our first choice that was no longer available that night (what usually happens when you crave or want something so much.) Baked Imbao lacks that “oomph” the Baked Scallops effortlessly give in its taste. Well, it is indeed tough being a second choice and a Baked Imbao at that. Haha. I’m just saying. :hide:
I have to say though that Imbao has always been a personal favorite. It is just now I know I wouldn’t want it baked and fall to the trap of playing second fiddle to Baked Scallops. Hmph. Again, I'm just saying. hehe.
I want Imbaos cooked and boiled in its own juices until its shells open. My mother cooks this way: no water, no salt. But you’d be surprised there is soup, and how tasty it is. =)
How do you like your Imbaos done?
