Dinengdeng na bunga ng singkamas o dinengdeng ken sinamapalukan nga bunga ti lingkamas or in English, it can be translated as stewed jicama or yam bean or Mexican turnip fruit.

My all-time favorite dinengdeng, bunga ng singkamas jicama fruit. It’s best when mix it with fresh and young tamarind fruit and saluyot or jutes.
