Tapa
What is tapa in Filipino cuisine? Usually a preserved (dried) meat (or fish) process. It’s evolved over time. This is a simple recipe with an amazing taste. In our area it’s a traditional Filipino food you might find served at a wedding along with many other Filipino dishes. My good neighbor Roselyn brought over a large dish and shared her recipe. It was a hit! Can be eaten warm or room temperature but we’ve been known to pull it right out of the refrig for a taste treat. Roselyn used pork here but sirloin can be used too.
Thank you Roselyn!
If you’re not feeling well… And you live on my block you might be surprised with a fresh bowl of chicken soup, filipino style. Thank you Roselyn! It was just what I needed for my upset stomach. But you don’t need to be under the weather to appreciate this delicious soup. If you’re into cellophane noodles, chicken and ginger this is the soup for you. And of course a side of white rice is mandatory. 😉 I like it right on top!
Not sure how or why but a friend and I got to talking about food. Ha. While eating and drinking last night Roselyn mentioned a salad (& the recipe) she frequently ate as a child. It sounded so simple and good I had to try it. She was absolutely right about this side salad! It’s delicious. Don’t tell her but I used pre-washed fresh spinach. She said it wouldn’t be the same without fresh bunches of spinach … not pre-washed. This was pretty darn good, Roselyn! Check out a few of her other recipes she has shared, 
When I introduced 
Delicious Filipino Dish with few ingredients! I like the idea of pork ribs instead but suit your meat preference. Because this recipe uses pickling spices I relate the meat taste to some Portuguese dishes. I just love it! Enjoy! And thanks Roselyn … Hoping for more.
