No, nilagang manok is different from tinola, although really, they’re just both boiled chicken. I use ginger in my tinola too and either green papaya or sayote and dahon ng sili for the the veggies. I don’t use bigas washing though, unlike you. I don’t even like the idea! Alam mo naman ang bigas dito– exposed to the elements. ;)

So when are you coming back? Are you anywhere near seeing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Btw, I’m using my personal email here, just for you. :)
