How I wish Paul was with me as he will surely love this dish that has secured Pampanga's top position in the Pinoy Foodie Map! The meat was crunchy and flavourful although the chicharon lacks the authenticity or perhaps they should just crumble it even more. I tell you, this just got to be my favorite local dish ever! This just got to be the only one that would make me say "extra rice please!"įourth stop: Binagoonan Baboy - Stewed Pork cooked with Fermented Shrimp Pasteįifth stop: Sisig - Pig Ears cooked with chili, onion, vinegar and topped with crunchy pork rinds (chicharon) and normally served in a sizzling plate. Third stop: Bopis (chopped pork sauteed with chili, tomatoes and onions) Second stop: More soups: Aside from the Chicken Binakol, they also have Munggo na may Kalabasa (Pumpkin and Mung Beans) and Beef Nilaga (Beef Soup) They got a number of different choices from Kinilaw na Tanigue (Raw Fish Salad), Ampalaya Salad (Bittergourd Salad - I promise you it's not bitter at all), Langka Salad (Jackfruit Salad) and more! Now that our tummies have warmed up, let me take you on a virtual tour on what other dishes to expect during the Filipino Food Promotion at Melt - The World Cafe:ġst stop: Kinilaw and Ensalada. The soup had a sweet note and it was just so refreshing. It was just a bit challenging to finish all the soup from the coconut shell but I think I did a pretty good job. Note that I'm not a big soup fan but I really enjoyed this soup very much. Chef Pauline's version was very very good. It's a clear soup that consists of tender chicken meat, coconut meat, green papaya and a small stalk of lemon grass. To warm our tummies and to prepare us for the feast ahead, we had a young coconut shell each filled with comforting Chicken Binakol. This suddenly reminded me of Mommy who loves Lumpiang Ubod a lot and we would go to Goldilocks for our afternoon snack to have this. Our lunch began with an individual serving of Lumpiang Ubod - fresh egg roll filled with strips of veggies/ubod (hearts of coconut palm) and served with sweet peanut sauce. One day I was craving for Halo Halo, on other days it was Bopis, then you all know about my recent Lechon craving and discovery. For someone who hasn't been home for close to 6 months, I would find myself missing a number of my favorite Filipino dishes and desserts every so often.
