I have several plants with edible leaves from my container garden. Last night, I picked some talinum tops and made salad by adding chopped onions and tomatoes to the young leaves after blanching them. I then put a bit of sea salt as I mixed the three ingredients to come up with a deliciously nutritional salad accompaniment to my rice meal.

Tangkong

Tangkong is the Visayan term (Ilonggo or Cebuano) for water spinach and known as kangkong countrywide.

Here’s a stanza from the Provincial Jail song (radio drama song) that I hear all the time in Bacolod in the past that the lyrics still in my head.

Ang amon na utan ginulot na langka, tinuktok nga tangkong bisan asin wala
Samtang naga kaon ga tulo ang luha, daw ano kasubo kung imo makita
