Lechon Kawali is one of my favorite food especially when there is an occasion like birthdays, fiestas, anniversaries and anything else that talks about eating season. The one who is excellent in cooking this kind of viand is my father because he is a cook. When he cook, he tried something different. He put some ingredients that which are not included on the recipe book, he loves experimenting then the result is very good. Sometimes, bad.
