I am a Kapampangan. A friend of mine said that they put ampalya on their Kare-kare and that is the real Kapampangan way. I'd been eating Kare-kare all my life and never had it with apalya. Do they really put apalya?

I'm not sure why but some Filipinos also use okra and ginger. I grew up eating kare kare with only eggplants, pechay, long beans and banana heart. I was born and raised in ANgeles City and my family were mostly from Magalang (Dizon)
