EN: Filipino ceviche; a dish of raw fish or meat cured in vinegar
The ultimate "pulutan" (bar chow). This is what happens when raw fish (or goat meat, if you're brave) takes a long bath in vinegar, ginger, and onions. It's the perfect partner for a cold beer on a hot day. It's sour, it's spicy, it's fresh, and it's proof that you don't always need fire to make something delicious.
ROOT MEANING: raw (referring to food, especially seafood or meat)
Different regions in the Philippines have their own versions of kilawin. For example, in the north, "kinilaw" is more common.
