I like this dish, and it took sometimes before I finally had the courage to learn how to cook it. I may not prepare it the way Bicolanos do but mine is sumptuous as well. My kids liked it too, but not much on appearance, it looks like sh!t to them.
Mico did not call it sh!t veggie, he knows it’s laing and he liked it…
Chico’s enjoying it that much. He was surprised to know that he can actually play his blocks on it. He just can’t get enough of the buttons..
I was planning on buying a ride on toy for Chico last Friday. I was in between Little Tikes and Fisher Price, then I saw Cat. I have been salivating over this truck for some years now and when hubby says yes, faster than lightning, the truck went to my basket.
I have no problem with Kayil when it comes to veggies. He can eat almost anything, cauliflower, broccoli and sometimes even ampalaya. I just tell him that it was his favorite dish when he was younger and he would gladly eat it. As for Mico, he only wants to eat baboy (pork) and chicken and fish. He does not like veggies. And so I just let him eat baboy, lots and lots of baboy.
Veggie Baboy. This is tokwa for you but for our Mico, it’s called veggie baboy. He loves it! He likes it more when dipped in soy sauce, vinegar, onion and lots of chili.
Yellow Baboy. This is squash for you, and yes we call it yellow baboy. He is not fond of eating this dish, saute in shrimp paste with tomatoes, string beans and coconut milk. Mommy was quick enough to tell him that the yellow thingy is actually baboy, only it is color yellow. Now he likes it more than I do.
Green Baboy. Any veggies that’s green and looks like a slice of meat could pass up as green baboy…
This technique is really effective and now he is getting used to the taste of the veggies. Just yesterday I finally told him that it was not veggie baboy but is called Tokwa. He does not care anymore as long as there’s a spicy dip around.
