Bukidnon’s Pata Tim

Kaamulan Festival of Malaybalay, Bukidnon (Last week of February to 1st
week of March). In celebration of Bukidnon’s founding anniversary, this
ethnic fiesta is held to feature the seven ethnic groups that originally thrived
in the province – Bukidnon, Talaandig, Higaonon, Matigsalug, Manobo,
Umayamnon and Tigwahanon. As such, this festival is a great opportunity to
get to know this province’s culture and tradition through food, through lots of
merrymaking.

Notes

Bukidnon has various specialties but this recipe is a standout, especially if
you are talking about festivals and celebrations. It’s a Filipino-Chinese dish
using pork hocks or legs as the main ingredient. The super tender meat is
given a wonderful treatment from a special sauce with star anise, hoisin
sauce, and oyster sauce among other things. Shiitake mushrooms and bok
choy are also commonly added into the mix for a delightful fiesta meal.
