              Ginataang Monggo  is a delicious mung bean soup which includes diced pork and coconut milk for a rich, creamy flavor. This dish is one of my favorite because from the smell to its taste, it really soothes my palate and it's very delicious and healthy. It makes me want to eat more. I remember when I was still a kid, I didn't like to eat monggo maybe because of its dark color. My mom scolded me just to eat the monggo. While my cousin kept on encouraging me to eat them because it wasn't as bad as what i thought. And when I tried them, I got surprised because it was good. If it wasn't because of my cousin, I wouldn't be able to try and appreciate the food. Because of that experience, I learned not to judge the food by its color or appearance but through its taste. Since then, I eat monggo a lot.
