Wow! This dish sounds fabulous. Unfortunately, I don’t know a source for carabao cottage cheese…can I use regular instead?
I lived in the Philippines in Angeles City 1987-88. Miss the food…wouldn’t mind going back someday to visit! My stepmom is Filipina but lives in another state and doesn’t really cook anymore! Too bad for me!

I like baked tahong. But recently I was put on a diet because of high level of cholesterol. I’d like to know if tahong is high in cholesterol and fat. Thank you.
