Nilagang Upo This pork or chicken dish is boiled with bottle gourd, commonly called “upo” in tagalog dialect. Honestly my knowledge about cooking upo is only ginisang upo (or sauteed bottle gourd) with pork or chicken. My first impression of this dish is that it will taste bland because the ingredients are very simple but I’m wrong. It is very tasty and I’m sure you will love it.
Ingredients
• Pork or Chicken
• Upo (bottle gourd)

Instructions
