Reliving Mom’s Cooking – Binawangan

I am sharing this recipe to pay tribute to my mother on her birthday (it’s supposed to be her 66th this year). This is very tedious to prepare, with all the peeling and cutting, but it is all worth it. I don’t know where my mom learned this recipe but I only get the chance to sample it at home. After she passed away, now is the only time I get the chance to prepare this for my family and I would like to share it to all of you. Feel free to try it at home, and please try to remember the kind and loving woman who used to prepare this recipe. 😉
