I think you are wondering why this recipe is called Tapang Taal? what does it differ from the usual tapa we are eating? First of all the usual tapa is made from beef and the tapang taal is made from pork. And the reason why it is called “taal” is the origin of this unique tapa. Taal is situated in the province of Batangas and it is where the famous Taal volcano is located. A complex volcano in the middle of the Taal lake. This tapa is usually sold in the Taal wet market and there is no other kind of tapa you will see but this tapang taal. But you don’t need to go to Taal to taste this tapa, you can make this right in your own kitchen and you will be surprised how simple the ingredients are.
