100 Pesos Budget – Try Misua and Patola Soup
It’s raining cats and dogs in the Philippines right now because of the Typoon named Maring. It started last Saturday afternoon and until now (Monday August 19) it is still raining hard. This is the reason why some areas are flooded already.
Anyway, during this kind of weather it is better to stay at home and just eat. Yes, we Filipinos love to eat hahaha.
If you have a tight budget, this easy to do recipe is a must try. It only cost around P100 or less and is already good for 3-4 persons (depending on their appetites). This is perfect for this cold and rainy day.

Korek momshie eto din isa sa mga meal pag tight budget at masarap din higop sabaw. Mas gusto ko maraming patola hehe at kids naman marami ground pork. Appreciate the recipe Mommy 😍
One of our favorites. But Mond does not like patolo in his misua. He likes it plain or instead of just sauteing the ground pork, he creates meat balls.
