Navarro’s Fermented Shrimp in Rice (Burong Hipon) | 227g Jar

Transport your palate to the heart of Pampanga with Navarro’s Fermented Shrimp in Rice, famously known as Burong Hipon. This exotic Filipino delicacy is crafted using fresh freshwater shrimp (suahe) blended with cooked rice and precisely fermented to achieve a distinctive salty-sour flavor profile. A staple for the Kapampangan community in Seven Hills, this 227g jar offers a creamy, savory experience that adds a layer of "linamnam" (umami) to traditional home-cooked meals.

Why Navarro’s Burong Hipon is a Culinary Masterpiece:

As a leader in Kapampangan delicacies, Navarro Foods ensures that their Buro maintains the traditional standards of quality and excellence that have made them a Philippine household name.

  • Expertly Fermented: The fermentation process naturally breaks down the proteins in the shrimp and rice, creating a complex, pungent, and savory paste that is both a condiment and a side dish.

  • Balanced Sourness: Precisely timed to reach the "perfect sourness," making it approachable for those new to fermented foods while satisfying the cravings of traditionalists.

  • Nutrient-Dense & Probiotic: Fermentation increases the bioavailability of essential minerals like Zinc and Magnesium, while supporting a healthy gut microbiome.

  • Authentic Heritage: Proudly bearing the provincial seal of excellence from Pampanga, ensuring you are tasting the same recipe enjoyed in Filipino town plazas.

  • Ready-to-Cook Convenience: While it can be eaten as-is, it is best enjoyed when sautéed with garlic, onions, and tomatoes to unlock its full aromatic potential.

Classic Ways to Enjoy Your 227g Jar:

  1. The Essential Side Dish: Sauté the Buro with plenty of garlic and onions until fragrant. Serve alongside grilled or fried fish (like Tilapia or Galunggong) and steamed vegetables like okra, eggplant, and bitter melon.

  2. Buro Fried Rice: Stir a tablespoon of Navarro’s Fermented Shrimp into your garlic fried rice for a tangy, umami-rich twist on the breakfast classic.

  3. Filipino Omelette: Whisk a teaspoon of Burong Hipon into your eggs before frying to create a unique, savory omelette that needs no extra salt.

  4. Tangy Spring Roll Filler: Mix a small amount into a vegetable spring roll filling for a hidden "zing" that surprises and delights the palate.
