Today is a day after Christmas. Many of us want to eat something simple — considering the amount of different holiday dishes that we had during the past few days. My taste bud need a little rest from these tasty holiday dishes — it is one of the reasons why I cooked Pinaupong Manok.
Traditional Pinaupong Manok makes use of a large clay pot (palayok) to cook the dish. It will be good to use it if you have one, but also feel free to use your ordinary cooking pot if a clay pot is not within reach. I like having this dish with a dip of patis (fish sauce) and lemon or calamansi. You can also enjoy it with a dip made of soy sauce and lime; it is up to you.
