Dagupan 볶은 새우 페이스트 (Guisado Bagoong) 레귤러

The texture is spot-on—not too oily, not too dry—and it clings perfectly to a slice of green mango. I’ve tried a few bottled bagoong before and this one has the most balanced saltiness for kare-kare. Just wish the jar was bigger.

Opened the jar and the aroma hit me right away—that deep, savory shrimp smell that takes me straight back to my lola's kitchen. Spread some on green mangoes and it was the perfect salty kick, just how it should be.

Got my jar today and it's exactly what I needed for the kare-kare sauce this weekend. The texture is nice and thick, not too watery, and it brought that authentic savory hit I've been missing since my last trip home.
