Singkamas na may Bagoong

A succulent turnip or jicama partnered with shrimp paste is a nice treat for me, this is also sold as street food in some cities in the Philippines together with green mangoes. The vendors put the slices of turnips (singkamas) on the skewer and spread a shrimp paste on it.

 This is easy to prepare, just wash the turnips properly then remove the skin and slice to your desired size put some shrimp paste then serve and enjoy. :-)
