Receta Kilawing Puso ng Saging
One of our church friends had a garage sale and as I scour the place of anything I can find useful I saw this banana tree outside their garage with one hanging banana heart on it, I shouted to my excitement and my friend heard it. She told me whether I want to have it, I said yes because I never had eaten banana heart for ages now and it is not available for sale in Asian shops as well. So she gave me a knife and told me to cut it and bring it home, I was so ecstatic. A lot of things went into my mind, shall I make kare kare or curry? But another friend who was with me in the same place told me that would be nice to make a kilawin (cooked in vinegar) out of it.
