Traditional Mechado
Today, the term mechado is used in the Philippines to refer to any stew (usually beef) with potatoes, tomatoes, bay leaf and soy sauce.
The traditional dish mechado uses a Spanish culinary practice of threading strips of pork back-fat through thick pieces of cheaper lean beef to render them more tender and less dry.
Macapuno Candy
Macapuno is a very special kind of soft coconut meat. Considered a delicacy in the Philippines, it is preserved in heavy sugar syrup, usually as long shreds. You can buy bottled macapuno, which can be used as an ingredient in haluhalo. It is also a popular flavor of ice cream.
