EN: clam (specifically, a type of small freshwater clam)
Not the fancy-schmancy clams you get in a pasta vongole. This is the humble palengke clam. You buy a bag for cheap, throw it in a pot with some ginger, lemongrass, and maybe some malunggay, and you've got a simple, comforting soup. It's the comfort food of river towns.
Refers to a specific type of bivalve, Marsh Clam (Batissa violacea), often used in soups like 'sinabawang tulya'.
