Hello! At Relax Lang Mom, a Filipino mom food blog, I share recipes that connect everyday life to the kitchen.
In the province, what we do is just get Kangkong in the backyard and do an instant Kangkong Adobo. When we went to Manila, I was shocked at how much these kangkong costs. I tried to have it in the 1 feet x 6 feet plot in front of my house but I cannot remember to water them and they kept dying! The ones in our backyard doesn’t even need watering, I don’t understand!
