Ginataang Talangka (Asian Shore Crabs in Coconut Milk)
It’s funny that very few Filipinos know what is the English term for “talangka”. Those tiny crabs that are sometimes mistaken as baby crabs. Some say that talangka is a mini version of “alimango” (mud crab). Some call it mini crab and I also thought the correct term was crablets. But with a little research I found out that the correct English for talangka is “Asian shore crab” because of the square shaped top shell.
