there's this dish in puerto prinsesa that you just have to eat. your trip will not be certified with a touch of palawan if you hadn't eaten it. it's the TAMILOK or woodworm.

it's not terrible even though it's perceived to be exotic. it's just like eating oyster, only longer. i swear it's not even bad tasting. i had a few bites or so. it's about 150/dish and could be shared with beer. perfect with vinegar and perhaps a bit of alcohol. they can also deep fry it. we ordered the 'classic' which seemed to be boiled lightly with a little dash of vinegar.
