"This versatile delicacy is easily adapted with additional ingredients such as ground meat and vegetables, and it is traditionally served accompanied by steamed rice and tomato or banana ketchup," they added.

TasteAtlas also characterized the Filipino delicacy as "inexpensive and quickly prepared" which can be "enjoyed at any time of day as a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner."

In the latter part of the post, TasteAtlas noted that the rating is based on TasteAtlas' audience.
