Our Tortang Talong with Kinuday is a mouthwatering fusion of smoky, savory, and creamy flavors. The tender, char-grilled eggplant base of tortang talong offers a hearty, earthy foundation, while kinuday—smoked and cured meat from the Philippines—adds a rich, smoky punch that elevates the dish with its umami depth. The finishing touch of creamy, tangy cream cheese creates a luscious contrast, melting slightly into the warm eggplant and meat. This inventive twist on a Filipino classic brings together traditional and modern elements for a truly unforgettable bite!
