This is most common in Cebu, it bothers me why there are a lot of food in Cebu that does not get to Manila. This is a sweet kind of ADOBO, basically almost the same kind of cooking. Yes, it is similar to Pata Tim in Chinese but is different since it does not taste fatty and oily and is sweeter and softer. While eating this, I could finish eating 5 cups of rice.

It is traditionally made from sugar canes. The only traditional palm sugar I know is pakaskas, sugar made from the Buri Palm tree. Of course, coco palm sugars are now produced in the Philippines but not an ethnic food in general. Robyn, Malaysian palm sugars: gula kelapa(coco sugar), gula melaka, gula anau. Indonesian palm sugars: gula jawa(literally, Javanese sugar. May be made from cocos, nypa or arenga.), gula aren (palmyra sugar) Visit our homepage: http://cocopalmsugar.sch.ph Panocha is NOT palm sugar. It is traditionally made from sugar canes.

Humba pala ang tawag! I grew up simply calling this dish 'Paksiw na Pata'. My mom used to cook this with no mushrooms. No anise. Just banana blossoms, brown sugar, and yes, lots of black pepper. All simmered and reduced to a thick yummy sauce. Awww! Ahh! Humba pala ang tawag! I grew up simply calling this dish ‘Paksiw na Pata’. My mom used to cook this with no mushrooms. No anise.
