"The kare kare tasted like the food you grew up with: comforting and nostalgic, with a peanut-based stew filled with tender oxtail and tripe, green beans and eggplant; eaten over steamed white rice, the slightly sweet sauce plays against the intense umami of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste), which cuts through the richness and lifts each spoonful." - Lauren Saria
