The Gising-Gising recipe, literally, “wake up, wake up” is going to wake you up and make you sweat because of its wake-you-up kind of spice, what with its generous amounts of Siling Labuyo. A dish which is similar in ingredients and cooking method and preparation as Chopsuey, the only difference between the two is that Gising-Gising is a coconut-milk based dish, unlike Chopsuey which banks more on the cornstarch for its texture. Known as a dish commonly served in town fiestas, this is usually served as a beer match because of its spice. However, with the homey coconut milk, Gising-Gising can also be eaten as a viand partnered with heaps of rice.
