Chicken Tinola with Sotanghon and Ampalaya


Chicken Tinola with Sotanghon and Ampalaya. I just love my tinola with ampalaya, I just can’t resist the gingery bitter taste of the broth. Be warned to those who hate ampalaya, this dish is obviously bitter. If you do not like the dish please skip this one.

Champeni of Batangas . Champeni or champene, sampeni or sampene , whats in a name, the important is, this goat or beef innards dish is a must try when you are in Batangas . I could not really confirm the common name of this delectable dish. Based on people that I have met and places and that I have visited in Batangas , the pronunciation varies.

This post is actually overdue, several readers have been asking if I had tried to cook crispy pata using the turbo broiler on my first crispy pata recipe a few years back. Click this link Crispy Pata , to see that post. If you are interested there is also a bonelsee version in the archives, click the link Boneless Crispy Pata to see that post.
