Kare-kare is nice, although we do not have it often. I just passed by laing, posted by Psalm23. Was picky as a child, but by highschool was eating most veggies. They were good after all. I learned to eat taro leaves (gabi) much later, but see it is very alkaline-forming and the root is also made into poi in other countries. Now this i havent tasted, but its as good as yoghurt daw, those fermented stuff we need. I dont remember if someone posted ginataan in this long post i visited a while ago, but the chunky taro roots and pearly tapioca balls are really nice in there.
