Masarap ito! This is one of my favorite dishes in the Philippines. Delicious.

Cooking Laing has many variations. Examples: instead of alamang na bagoong, you can use patis or fish sauce; instead of using pork, you can use 'dilis' (very tiny dried fishes); you can also add shrimps (note that these shrimps are different from the shrimp paste which are very very small shrimps)...and so much more variations...

Laing is indeed great tasting provided it is cooked well and properly. There were laings I have tasted that to my opinion do not taste well. Thanks for the recipe.
