Inihaw na Tilapya and Talong



Okay! This food makes me really hungry right now. In english, inihaw is grilled, talong is eggplant but I really don't know what Tilapya in english is. All I know it is a fish from a pond. But if my readers knows it, kindly leave a comment.


This dish is very simple to do, there's no special recipe to do this. All you need is charcoal and barbecue grill. And of course the following:



* Tilapya


* Eggplant or Talong


* salt to taste


* Tong to flip the fish and Eggplant
