Summary
Crispy Dinuguan is quite becoming a popular dish here in the Philippines. I first heard this dish via some friends tweet. I learned that crispy dinuguan is a specialty dish of Kanin Club at the Paseo de Santa Rosa, Santa Rosa Laguna. According to a blogger who experienced and tasted this dish; it tastes like your ordinary dinuguan except that the pork is cooked like the Crispy Lechon Kawali way.
