Bagoong is a salty pungent fermented shrimp popular in the Philippine cuisine used either as a side dish or a flavouring agent to different dishes but I guess this haven’t been used to flavour fried chicken as I haven’t heard of anything like it yet.

  5. Mmmm – love the sound of this Raymund will have to look for bagoong – I guess it is a bit like shrimp paste?

  6. I would ADORE the opportunity to suck the meat off those bones!

  7. Dear Raymund,

    I love this version of fried chicken too. The bagoong as great salt complexity to the taste.

  8. Looks delicious! I bet if I cooked this in my apartment my neighbors on all 4 sides would just love me… LOL. Did you ever visit Peng Chau when you were living in HK and remember the big blue vats of shrimp paste lining the streets, now thats a fragrant place.
