Writing this on All Soul's day 2023 is a sweet and sour coincidence. Before my papa died, I wrote several of his recipes on my diary but I never got the chance or the gut to do it. I was craving for sweet and sour pork this week, so I decided to cook his Filipino style Sweet and Sour Pork for the first time. I was surprised that it came out just the way he cooked it. It's a dish that I would surely cook regularly for our "ulam" list. Let me show you how I cooked it. And I am so glad that I was able to document it through my vlogs. In a way it's a tribute to a great man who loves to cook for his family and friends because he knew it will instantly become a hit! This is my papa's Pinoy Style Sweet and Sour Pork recipe. It is so easy, but the taste is so surprisingly good ! Restaurant level recipes. Let's begin !
