      I missed that dish. That would be very exotic or extremely unavailable in groceries here in the US.

      I hope it could be featured in Foodnetwork.com as exotic healthy dish.

      Alukun in Ilocano, Himbabao in tagalog, Alibabag in Itawit, Alibabak in Ibanag ,this vegetable tree is fast becoming extinct in the country landscape. During my childhood days , this tree is oftenly used as fencing post. The flower of this tree goes well with mongo but if gathered fresh , it can be cooked alone with a cup of water for a cup of the flower and a tea spoonfull of bagoong.It also goes well as one of the ingredients in pinakbet , but it should be the last to mix among the ingredients. The thing is , you should gather it fresh and immediately use it for cooking ingredients , otherwise it does not taste well.
