If your taste bud is craving for something sour-sweet-salty-vinegar-y, go try inartem. Inartem means pickled. Yes, it is a pickled fruit. Seasonal fruits like green mangoes, turnips,"balayang", papaya, carmay, tamarind, santol, sarguelas, etc. are being sliced and drenched in sukang Iloco. The longer the fruits are aged in suka (Ilocano vinegar) with some salt, the better. Just put the washed and drained fruits in a sterile jar, pour over sukang Iloko (cane vinegar), sprinkle with salt, and marinate for a week.

It is not just inartem, it is a tradition! For me, it is on my childhood list of favorite foodies. The jars of inartem is located infront of BJC, near the municipality building.
Hmmmmmm, agkatayak pay! (",)
