Tiula itum is a TAUSUG dish. It is exotic even to me.
I just had my first taste of the famous Tiula Itum last time at Khisma's Muslim Cuisine in Zamboanga. 'Itum' means BLACK or ITAM. So don't be surprised if you're served a piping hot black broth. As L put it, the blacker the better. Also, the hotter the better, the spicier the better.I MISS EATING THIS FOOD!;(
