Another all-time favorite formula of Filipinos, especially in the Tagalog region of Luzon is the binagoongang baboy or pork with shrimp paste. It may contain a lot of fat but the pungent aroma and very yummy saltiness of the shrimp paste make this dish plainly irresistible. Those who are on a diet should never go in any place near this dish (unless you have strong self-control) because it is so mouth-watering that just the smell from a distance will drive your stomach rumbling. With mango and atsara on the side of this dish, you won't be able to count how many servings of rice you have already consumed.
