Don't ask me why they are called this unusual name, literally translated as "lewdly" rather than "artistically" NAKED. All I know is, they were unusual and unique to me... My assistant, whose legal issues which we were in Palawan to resolve, knew that I had a huge fondness for sampaloc/tamarind candy and I had eaten tons of the stuff since childhood. So word must have been sent ahead to Palawan and I was presented with a HUGE plastic container filled with perhaps 1.5-2.0 kilos of this sampaloc candy shortly before I was to go back home. Formed into huge balls, double or triple the normal sized tamarind candy, they were incredibly round and smooth and coated with sugar. Even before I reached into the container to try one, I was trying to figure out what was striking about the "bomba" balls... I think my first clue was their unusually dense and smooth consistency...
