This is such a home dish favorite for Visayans.  Easy to prepare sour fish soup! Peel a layer of banana heart until the tender part remains.  Slice the young portion into serving size (Hint: as big as your slices of milkfish).  Slice milkfish (bangus) into serving sizes and sprinkle with salt. Set aside. In a soup casserole, put water (Hint: 1 slice of fish, 1 cup of water), tomatoes, onions and halved  batuan . Let boil and mash the batuan to bring out the sourness. Add the bangus or milkfish.  Let the fish cook through for 5 to 8 minutes and adjust the taste with salt. Let boil again and add the banana heart.   Let the banana heart cook fro about 2-3 minutes. Serve with rice. *** The white soup can be attributed to the batuan and the banana heart. *** Milk fish and Banana Heart Sour soup. *** A closer look at the white soup, a color attributed to the batuan and banana heart. ***
