Don’t get me wrong, Pork Humba or Braised Pork Belly or Pork Stew is VERY tasty. We used to have this cooked twice or thrice a month when we weren’t into healthy food years ago. I don’t use the pork belly then, thank you very much, because of its fat but I use pork loin instead. There are many varieties to this dish but I prefer cooking this with lots of garlic, mushroom, and hard boiled eggs
It is a slow cooking recipe and you can view how it is cooked here.
Below is a photo of what constitute a pork humba using pork belly or in Filipino term, liempo:
I am not so sure how much fat content there is for every slice of this meat. But from these come bacon slices which are cured before they make their way to the supermarket.
So what is SCARY about this? The fat content of course! 😀
Here is my other entry for the scary theme.

We had lunch at Bubba Gump TriNoma today and met Forrest Gump being “played” by Steve Weber.
I had fun, I think the other blogger guests had fun too.
The food was great and so is the ambience. The crew were friendly and so is Forrest.

Ilocanos call these “ar-arusip” while the Visayans call these “lato”
What exactly is this all about? The green seaweed or Caulerpa lentillifera.
I grew up in a coastal province eating this together with fried or grilled fish.The ar-arusip I knew always come in a bowl with fresh tomatoes and onions. So this is what I serve whenever I have the chance to buy it in a wet market.
The lowly ar-arusip or lato is a good source of iron, iodine, calcium and vitamins A and C. Click here to read.
