Ampalaya Con Karne

"What's for dinner honey?"

This is an everyday question either from me or from my husband. Well, for tonight I decided to cook vegetable for dinner and my husband suggested Ampalaya Con Karne. He was in-charge of the grocery and chopping preparation (aside from his everyday task of steaming our rice =D). My husband also sautéd the pork already. So, when I came home everything were prepared - ready to cook!
