it didn't take long for my three friends in persuading me to cook a traditional Filipino dish for them. i couldn't think of any other dish to WOW these boys except for Kare Kare. any Filipino would agree, it's not a fiesta without Kare Kare and bagoong.
modesty aside, my kare kare was delicious! ^_^left to right:
Florentin Traista (Romanian);
Francois Beaupre (French);
Michele Laurito (Italian)
after a very successful lunch expedition, we intend to continue on with this cultural experience. each of us will prepare a dish, native to where we are from.

for those who are not familiar with Kare Kare..it is a rich stew of beef (or ox tail), tripe (optional) and a variety of vegetables (bok choy/string beans/eggplant/banana flower) in a sauce flavored and thickened with roasted ground peanuts (peanut butter is just as good! this is what i use)
