kinilaw should not be marinated with vinegar! it will cook the fish and it will be more chewy . It's not kinilaw anymore! kinilaw means fresh and not cooked!
johnny lopez says
adding with grilled liempo sliced into same sizes with the fish would also be good

try this for best results:
no tomato, no garlic;
wash the cube fish with maasim na tuba vinegar then outrightly throw out the liquid vinegar; do not marinate, as this will cook the fish in the vinegar. a freshly flavored fish cubes would taste better.
the vinegar for final mixture should not be too "maasim", mix with water too lower acidity. a tuba vinegar would be best.
add all the other ingrdients: finely chopped ginger, medium sliced red bell pepper, onions, salt, a pinch of calamansi, a pinch of sugar (in lieu of msg). add coco cream, (which would be better if mashed together with the vinegar earlier mentioned). mix
yes, indeed , would taste better if served cold.

an additional ingredient for kinilaw in our place is crushed chicharon sprinkled on top of the kinilaw just before serving
