Filipino Food: Timon & HUMBA?!

The famous Filipino food Humba!

Humba (Braised Pork Belly) is one of the comfort foods of every Filipino home.  It's a famous filipino food dish somewhere in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. The people from Luzon have also this but they have a different version of this. But for me, my moms recipe is the best!

Humba is one of my favorite Filipino foods.  It is one of those foods that I love especially if the one who cooks it is my mom. The problem is that I don’t know how to cook it, all I know is eat it!:D

I would love to share to you guys my moms Humba recipe but she seems to be lazy today to teach me. And I only know the basic cooking like how to fry and prepare the ingredients and not the whole mixing and estimating stuff.

I have done my research, and here’s what I found, a filipino food recipe of the famous HUMBA!!!
