I discover Andok during my first consulting gig in Makati back in 2002. They were almost next door to the service apartment I was at. I walk out the front door of the apartment building and followed my nose.
Crispy pata in North America is pure fat. Not good.
It's totally different in the Philippines.
I miss it. My arteries do not.
