  • I love ampalaya salad, or with munggo either dahon or bunga, with egg, or with oyster sauce. So healthy ,I like it a little bitter kaya di ko pinipiga at binababad sa tubig and salt. Thank you so much Doc Gary, your program is truly a blessing to me. I always watch it and share it to my friends. I learned a lot because you clearly explained your topics and you have a good sense of humor. God bless you more... from Harbor city, California
