Pinakbet growing up is not one of the list of foods that I like. But when I get older, I realized it's better than my choice of food when I was younger. At my age now, I prefer anything with vegetables. And that includes pinakbet! I don't like alamang back then but because of pinakbet I learned to kind of taught my taste buds to like it, too haha. But that dried shrimp is a great combi to pinakbet. I think I could eat 2 cups of rice because of that, lol!
