Asadong Pork Giniling with Quail Egg and Mushroom
This dish reminds me of those carinderia dishes that are affordable, back home when I used to work in Makati I uses to eat on one of those near Arnaiz Avenue, it’s not a posh place but they do serve some simple and very affordable good dishes like this.
Honestly I don’t really know how they made this in that carinderia but I will try to recreate this to most of my knowledge.

I love quail eggs, my girl too.
