Ginataan is a Filipino dish. Translated, “Ginataan” means “done with coconut milk.” Ginataan is a general term used to refer to a number of different dishes, each called “Ginataang,” with an added suffix word which describes the main ingredient of the coconut milk soup. Examples are ginataang bilo-bilo (coconut milk soup with rice balls) and ginataang mais (coconut milk soup with sweet corn). 

Some other dishes, such as laing and pinakbet, still fall under the “Ginataan” category because they always use coconut milk as part of the main ingredients. Ginataang bilo-bilo can be enjoyed both as a snack and a dessert.
