Adobong Patatas
(Fried Potato Salad) This is another dish that doesn’t have a name. I learned this from my father when I was a kid. I never liked potatoes when I was growing up but this one was an exception. I think it is because it is sour. I loved this dish and I still like itContinue reading “Adobong Patatas”
Crab-filled Eggplant Relleno

Beef And Bean Burritos With Green Chiles
