EN: oyster
The ultimate 'pampagana' or aphrodisiac, especially when doused with vinegar and enjoyed with an ice-cold beer. It's that fancy seafood you order when you're feeling a bit bourgeois in a dampa-style restaurant. Best eaten fresh, unless you want to spend the next day regretting your life choices.
From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *talaba.
Often sold by the 'sako' (sack) in coastal areas. A popular 'pulutan' (bar chow).
