Filipino Chicharon: Crispy Pork Rinds of the Philippines!
Did you know there are many different kinds of chicharon made in the Philippines?
Chicharon Isaw by Angie Pastor. For orders in Manila, 09369815475. Isaw is chicken intestines. As street food, they’re usually skewered on sticks and grilled. In this case, they are prepared chicharon-style, which is to say they’re not grilled but cooked to a crisp. To be continued… Please check back after the website update. Salamat ~
Chilak is short for chicharong bulaklak, which literally means “flower pork-rinds.”
