How rare it is to see ice plant being served in restaurant s locally! The crystalline ice plant is easily recognised by the tiny droplets on its stems and sides of the leaves. Unlike some other greens used in salads that have strong taste, ice plant has only a slight natural saltiness and is very much crunchy. Tossed in kalamansi juice, dried shrimp & shallot grapeseed oil, the ice plant here makes the perfect appetiser with a citrusy freshness and a fragrant aroma from the shallots.
