IZOBEL`S BRAISED PORK BELLY ( HUMBA )
Braised Pork belly or HUMBA ( as filipinos call it ) is one of my favorite filipino comfort food. Most recipes would normally use 1 cup of water instead of pineapple juice. But mommy`s version is perfect the way it is. The blend of taste is just what makes it the best !!!
