Every family serves a dish that has been served at every feast for years. My Dad’s hamonada—a great rendition of fried pork leg stewed in water seasoned with spices and then basted on a saucy mix of garlic, onions, tomato sauce, and pineapple juice, topped with pineapple chunks—has always been a part of our family feasts. We even give it as a gift to our relatives during their special occasions! Then there are the particular cuisines from each region or province.
