Kare-Kare (Pork Stew in Peanut Sauce)
It was a Saturday again and I was able to influence my lunchmates (classmates) from my graduate program to eat where I like to eat. I was able to lure them this time to an eatery I just discovered the last week. It looks just like a normal sari-sari store in Valencia St. at first glance, but if you’ll look closely, it has an eatery inside. The name of the place is Pampanguena’s Eatery (the name suggests that the food they serve is inspired by Pampanga’s cuisine.
I ordered, as the title suggests, a kare-kare or a pork stew in peanut sauce.
It was good. What made it more special is the shrimp paste that came with it. It was prepared with chunks of meat in it. Although it can stand on its own as a meal, it made the kare-kare taste better.
Overall, it was good. Although the kare-kare had only a few pieces of vegetable on it, I still enjoyed my lunch.
