This is a Filipino stew with a very tasty combination of creaminess and spiciness. If you like Thai green curry, this is for you. It is made with chilies, coconut milk, shrimp paste, onions, pork, ginger, and garlic.

Spaghetti alla Carbonara / Italy
The carbonara, made from an authentic Roman recipe, was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. It’s probably because of the essential ingredient, pecorino romano. And while there are many theories about the history of carbonara, I was able to predict the history of carbonara after researching and making all of the dishes that are very similar.
Pasta alla gricia (Father of Carbonara) / Italy
This dish is the father of carbonara, I felt. Roman pasta is famous for Cacio e pepe, Amatriciana and Carbonara; Pasta alla gricia is Amatriciana minus the tomatoes. I was able to enjoy the local recipe.
