I love mais and it's usually the tinanok (nilaga) that I crave for. But upon passing by my suki mais corner, I happen to be captivated by the aroma of their sinugba nga mais so without much though I bought 4 pieces upon knowing that its only Php15/2 piece.
Now that's really bargain and I will surely be back for more! Do you like plain grilled corn?
POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.
