Gising-Gising ala Abia

Gising-gising or in English translation, "Wake up! Wake up!". The reason is that, the spiciness of the dish will really wake one up. 

This is certainly an economical yet delicious dish which is great by itself or as a partner to fried fish with hot steaming rice (pinoy style). For the vegetarians, you can skip the meat and it can be just as good. You can also use shrimp instead of pork.

Wake up! Wake up!
