What does this mean?

Simple and easy. This is a regular Filipino breakfast but can be had for lunch or dinner. Fish is cooked in a pressure cooker for one and a half hours so bones become so tender they can be eaten. Option to add whole cherry tomatoes for added flavour and garnish. This is best eaten with toast, French bread or garlic rice.
