NIK that English for Ampalaya is Bitter Melon.
I suddenly remember the first time I ate an Ampalaya. It was when we had a community service in a rural area in Laguna. We where assigned in different houses and the family we were assigned with prepared lunch for us. They had ampalaya for lunch. I grew up not to reject the food served in the table and so I had no choice but to eat it.
It was a good "first" for me. And it was a life lesson I would never forget.
