Ginataang Langka with Pork

I find myself craving for Filipino food a lot more these days. 

With all of these yummy American food/Italian food that we eat all the time...

I crave for simple Filipino dish like these more after.

Dish like these are perfect with plain white rice.

Something so simple but full of flavor.

Be careful though, Dish like these makes you eat a lot of rice! :)

It has been such a long time since I had these.

The first bite was amazing!!!

Langka is Jackfruit in English.

Unripe Jackfruit is what you use for these.

It may be hard to find Fresh Jackfruit here in the US but I'm glad theres an option to get it

canned.

It taste as good as fresh.

Let me know what you guys think!

Chili peppers didn't make it as spicy since I didn't put much 

so the boys enjoyed it too as much as I did.

Enjoy!
