Humba is a sweet pork dish that resembles the famous pork adobo in
terms of appearance. This is popular in the southern parts of the
Philippines and is considered as one of the delicacies of the region.
Pork belly, pork hocks, and pork ham are the 3 most common pig parts
used to make this delightful masterpiece.
This dish uses all the ingredients of pork adobo; however, certain
ingredients such as brown sugar, salted black beans, and banana blossoms
make this dish stand out. There are also other variations wherein
pineapple juice is used (I learned this from my friends that came from
Cebu, Davao, and Gensan) – this gives more life to the dish as far as
I’m concerned.
