Oxtail Kare Kare

Anak ng Baka! Son of a Cow, literal translation! Oxtail kare-kare. Tsk tsk! Committing to eating lean and mean, I commit the sin of indulgence instead. Irresistibly delicious, sinful, beguiling! Combined with bagoong, this is da bomb! And here’s my beef: How can something so delicious be so “not good” for you? “Anak ng baka talaga!”
