My daughter, Liane, came down from Northern California last month to spend her birthday week at home. As usual, our mother and daughter bonding involved delicious trips to our favorite restaurants.

Ginataang Gulay

One of these favorite places is an establishment in the city of Artesia called Crispy House, formerly known as Magic Wok. If you ever find yourself near Pioneer and Artesia Blvd, and in great need of good Filipino food, I urge you to try this place. The restaurant itself is far from fancy, just a hole in the wall tucked in the corner of a decrepit shopping center. But, my peeps, the food! Their crispy pata alone makes them, in my book, the best Filipino restaurant in California! In fact, I don't think there is any one dish I've had at this restaurant that I didn't like. Alright, I stand corrected, their sinigang is the worst I've had in my life but everything else suits my tastes to a T.

Ginataang Gulay

Although we've tried a good percent of their menu, my daughter and I are creatures of habit that we order the same two things every time: crispy pata, which they are especially known for, and ginataang gulay to pair the succulent pork morsels with. Guys, I can be pretty badass with a can of coconut milk in the kitchen but I have to admit, their version of ginataang gulay leaves mine in the dust! So out of this world delicious, I had re-create it at home.
