EN: dish rack; cupboard for plates
The final resting place for plates and utensils after their epic battle in the kitchen sink. It's that sacred corner of the kitchen where the 'good plates' (the ones you only use for guests) are kept, separate from the everyday, battle-scarred ones. Also known as a 'platera'.
From "pinggan" (plate). The "pan-" prefix becomes "pam-" and the "-an" suffix denotes a place. So, "pam-pinggan-an" -> "pamingganan".
Can refer to a dish rack for drying or a cupboard for storage.
