Kamatis Iloko

Banna, Ilocos Norte. March 23, 2017.

KAMATIS ILOKO

Found these flower-like tomatoes in the public market of Banna, Ilocos Norte. March 23, 2017.

Notice the one behind looks like a red rose. You are looking at the bottom side of that tomato.

I am fascinated by their bright colors and they taste good in tinola and kinilaw.  Ano tawag nyo dito?


In Visayas, they have a similarly shaped tomato they called binakat, much like a tiny kalabasa (squash) without the warty underside, which I could not find easily in the public market the past few years.
