                 I really like Chicken Tinola With Corn because whenever I eat with this kind o food with rice it felt like I'm in heaven. Especially when I sip it's soup, it's like you will say ''Hmmmmmm'' just speechless because it is so delicious. Also the chicken and the corn really fit with each other. They are both sweet and sour. I just really love it. :)
