I have made it and love it, here in San Diego. in Mexico we eat ceviche on a corn Tostada. I put some mayonaise first and then the chicken ceviche. taste very good. a tortilla seems to be not as good as a tostada. because then it is a " chicken taco" and you don't taste the chicken so much.the tortilla has a strong taste of its own. my opinion is that the chicken ceviche is better on a tostada. in Mexico we make ceviche with shrimp or fish. thank you
I hate Kelaguen when they make me tried to eat before, but when i tried the chamorro way how they did it, though its too hot, loved it so much, that everytime i see kelaguen now i like to eat it. i just made one just today just to try if i can make it the Chamorro way. I love Guam.
People usually use this as a side dish with any meats. Red rice. But I did see it served with some type of corn tortilla. I serving it on tostadas. Just like ceviche.
@foxtrotcinco - Traditionally all Chamorro Kelaguen (chicken, beef, shrimp, fish, and even Spam since WWII) is serves with Chamorro Tatiyas. It's an adaptation of Mexican style Corn Tortillas learned from crew members aboard Spanish ships that made port on Guam back in the day. This is not to be confused with the traditional Spanish Tortilla which is more like a potato, onion and egg fritatta (Italian ). Chamorro Tortillas (corn, wheat flour, cassava, etc), are about double the thickness of modern day Mexican Tortillas. This makes Chamorro Tortillas the perfect vessel to take a small piece and with a single hand gather just enough Kelaguen or other food enough for one bite at a time. Kelaguen is served as one of many side dishes on traditional Chamorro dinner or fiesta table. Chamorro Red Rice, White Rice, White Wheat Flour Tortillas (usually sweetened) and other starches are served along with other main meats (famous Chamorro style grilled/bbq) and meat sides as well and many fish and vegetable side dishes. Today's modern tendancies you will often find people who have never seen or tried the Traditional Chamorro style thick Corn Tatiyas. It's an art to make good pliable ones as well as very time consuming. Its just easier to buy Mexican Tortillas or serve with Mexican crunchy Tostadas or Tortilla Chips. Young people prefer the sweet white flour ones. No Chamorro table is complete without the famous Chamorro hot sauce called Finadeni. This comes in many forms such as the traditional lemon variety or can be made with vinegars, or just crushed peppers with salt for a real "hot" sensation. This sauce is not necessary served with Kelaguen as Kelaguen is already prepared with its own lemon, salt and chili peppers. To do so would completely alter the taste of the kelaguen since the Finideni usually contains Soy Sauce and Kelaguen of any kind should not. So that's how traditional Kelaguen is served. Eat it any way you like, with tortilla chips, any kind of rice, bread, as a taco or mayonnaise enhanced bite. Enjoy!
You mean Philippine food. chamorros learned all their food, culture, and many many more from the Philippine people and from neighboring islands such as Palau, hawaii, yap, ect... that reside in Guam and saipan that's a fact. I don't mind all that but the only problem is that they claim it's theirs ever since the beginning of time.
I'm here in Illinois and I do the same thing too, chamorro style yummy
I really enjoyed your video/recipe! Thanks for sharing. I love Chamorro food!
