It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years.

It may not be the same ingredients we used back home from the Philippines but with her ingredients we can improvise to make it something close to home. My friend had some fresh small shrimp, tomato, onion, spinach and bottle white beans.

You can find my recipe of my Munggo Recipe through this link to direct you to it.
