Doong Island is the place where I grow up, a place where I gained most of my knowledge and a place where I first experienced what really life is.
"According to the legend, the island is named after a big bird called 'Doong' which is already instinct."

"Doong Island have also world class delicacies that people all over the world would surely enjoy."
I only got a couple of them:
 |
| Manlot It's local name is 'Manlot'. We just usually put this in water and allow to boil for just a couple of minutes, and then it's done. |
 |
| Nukus We are also proud of our Squid, we call it 'Nukus'. We oftentimes used it in making adobo. |
 |
| Kasag We call this Kasag (a variety of crab). |
 |
| Fried Danngit Fried Danngit is one of the most popular delicacies in Doong Island. "This is one of my favorite food in Doong and even here, this is usually our food when there's typhoon becuase there is no one or there are only few fishermen who went fishing because of the strong current." |
Freshly caught Squid or Nukus and Gung-Gung (Beside Nukus)

We can also see different kinds of fish in the sea surrounded the island of Doong and its neighboring islands.
 |
| Scallops Doong Island have also Scallps abundance, we call this Takab-Takab. It's so delicious even if you don't need to put or add special seasoning to it. "Just like the other seashells, we just put this in the water and allow to boil for minutes." |
 |
| Saang We call this 'Saang'. We just normally steamed this or allow to boil in a water and then its done. |
Doonganon's are also good in making or cooking world class lechon. Not just that, we are also good in making 'Dinuguan' (pig's intestines)
