When I was still residing in Quezon City, I would go to La Loma as frequent as I can to eat Pares. That time, I still didn’t know how to cook (yes, even a decent sunny-side up egg). Now, that I am able to cook, I figured it’s time for me to learn one of my favorite dishes but then I saw a recipe online that has a twist to it. Introducing Bulalo Beef Pares. It’s amazing! I get to eat a combination of my 2 favorite dishes, the pares and the bulalo. The result is definitely yummy! It’s a bit of a work but it was all worth it!
It was also my first time to try out the pressure cooker at home. I had a bit of a mess as I was trying to take the pressure out of the cooker. Anyhow, it was an experience but I’m learning! This Bulalo Beef Pares is good and I’m just glad that I finally was able to replicate one of my favorite dishes.
