Crispy goodness
We-ell, if you have to control your cholesterol levels, then this isn't quite good for you. Crispy Pata is another favorite Filipino dish. Pata is the Tagalog word for thigh, but the dish consists of a whole pork leg (bone, skin and knuckles included)—boiled or pressure-cooked, dried well and deep fried. Crunchy outside, tender inside, served with a dipping sauce made of vinegar and soy sauce. The only thing better than Crispy Pata? Boneless Crispy Pata, like this one. Parsley, spring onion and red onion garnish optional.
I love pork. A whole pork leg is a lot of eating. The photo makes it look good too.

Asks the mind:" Is it good?" - Says the heart:" No, but it makes you feel good."

I remember seeing a lot of pork in Manila! I think I probably saw a couple of Crispy Pata in the make :D
ReplyDeleteYummy! am salivating hahaha! makes me think of buying "pata" tonight and will cook it tom. Hala bawal sa akin 'to, hypertensive ako.
ReplyDeleteLovely presentation, and I suspect a "taste" might not do too much damage to your cholesterol levels -:) Steady diet, however, could well be deadly.
ReplyDeleteWe've just added Manila to our list of cities to visit (we travel on our bellies)....
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on this dish. Although it does sound tasty in a certain way.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE a good crispy pata... but I want mine on the bone. I think I was a dog in my previous life... Have you ever tried it Abe's Farm? YUM!
ReplyDeleteThis dish looks so good! Sure LOOKS healthy though.
ReplyDeletefor a pinoy like me who's in a country where pork isn't so popular dish, i can't help but drool at your photo of that boneless crispy pata! LOL :D
