OMG – paksiw na pata looks so yummy! Being based here in middle east I can only feast on pork during our annual vacation. I miss pork and I’m craving for one now!

steamed kangkong is almost always a mainstay in our menu whenever we have guests to entertain at home. it is very versatile; we usually serve it with bagoong or oyster sauce. we drizzle it with sesame oil to make it more flavorful.

MM, were your guests Anthony Bourdain and company? He wrote in his Travel Channel web post that he was in Philippines.

once in a while, me and my daughters enjoy pork pata cooked jumba-style. my wife adds sake into this dish when she cooks it. the sauce is soooo good this is maybe the only time i get my kids to finish their rice. and when they’re finished, their plates are soooo clean it looks as if they haven’t started.

paksiw na pata, now there is a dish I have not had in a while. I remember my mom used to make this for me all the time and I loved it as a child. All these new ways to prepare kangkong from the comments.. fantastic!

Cumin, Kang-kong belachan is actually common here in Singapore. Sautee the belachan, then add the garlic and chili till fragrant then add the kangkong as simple as that ;)

Kangkong is great stuff, full of fiber and inexpensive. I stir fry kangkong in garlic, oyster sauce and dried chili flakes or powder. It is delicious.

Great impromptu meal Marketman!! When I feel lazy on Sunday but want something different,I run to Sidcor (nearer to us than Makati) and get a combination of food which becomes a great Sunday spread.I love this blog MM. It makes my “free time” really wonderful—reading all this food finds,recipes etc. I feel so connected to people from other parts of the planet. The only problem is,just reading all this food makes me fat already.Harharhar…
I have a daughter who lives in Singapore who introduced me to your blog…and I’m really hooked.It’s only now when most of my children have flown the coop have I had time to join the comments….Thanks Marketman!! You’re a blessing!!
When I go to Singapore,we go around and binge and remember you in our food trips…hahahaha…..

Jun, that sounds like an interesting recipe for kangkong and I actually have the odorous belachan in the fridge :-) My usual recipe for kangkong is fry some grated garlic and ginger, throw in kangkong and a little salt, then drizzle with sesame oil before serving. Also yum!
