Remember this dish? If you are Filipino and grew up in the Philippines, you would. If not, check out a cheap carinderia or turo-turo in any street corner in Metro Manila and chances are you’ll find it. It’s cheap, it can feed a crowd depending on three variables: how much rice you servewith it; how much potatoes are in the dish and how salty you make the dish. It has raisins to satisfy that infamous Filipino sweet tooth. Now do you remember?
I never cooked it before. Well, now I have… If there’s leftover I will mix it with tomatoe sauce and pasta to become a new dish!
