My little cousin loves filipino dishes with the exception of sea foods due to her food allergy,beef caldereta is one of them,she loves the black olives and potatoes.Last time we made goat caldereta and she said that it wasn't the usual caldereta that she had tasted,she stated that the meat is "yucky",I told her it was goat and she dramatically said that goats are about to be extinct,silly girl.
So last night,I made the beef caldereta,you can see from her face that she has really enjoying it,she hummed while eating and to see that kind of happiness in little girls face is really priceless.
