Hey guys! I've been really missing my mom's cook and also Filipino food since I'm already residing here at US but this never stop me to still keep on loving Filipino food. Like I told you before I don't really cook when I was living with my parents so since then that I'm being independent and missing Filipino recipes that's I realized I have to learn how to cook. And by doing it for a couple of months now I just found out that I enjoyed cooking! Lol. So this is one of the favorite things I loved to do.

What I usually do is I keep on searching recipes online then I check the ingredients and sometimes some ingredients was in tagalog name so what I do is I searched it in english name. Then I go to the nearest grocery here at New Bedford, most of the ingredients are available and just a number that are not. One thing that I haven't done is cooking "Sinigang" becaus ethey don't have Sinigang mix or tamarind soup base. But I'm sure some grocery I can find it.

So this is my first Ginataang pork. This never came by searching online, I search the recipe but something within me just want the taste of ginataan. So I hope you enjoy your cooking and I hope this recipe helps you too!
