Filipino Menudo

Saturday was a good day, I was in a mood to cook.

And I decided why not making something I been wanting to cook for a long time.

I love this dish, This dish is usually for special occasions in the Philippines.

My sister's Mother in-law makes the best Menudo, Every time I go home I would ask her if her Mother in-law is going to make it. Sometimes I'm too shy to ask.

So I decided to try if I can make Menudo. 

I think It's close. :)
