Tastes like the one you get from karenderyas, really good and nostalgic.

Delicious! The first time I tasted was Mama Fina’s in NYC. This isn’t exactly like that in that the taro leaves are more whole (versus looking like creamed spinach). Flavor is delicious. I also bought sisig bangus and served both with rice
