My friend Yin, went to Pampanga and we met in the afternoon. We didn't have a clue that we'll end up cooking. She was given this recipé and I too was given this recipé however with totally different ingredients. We were arguing in the supermarket about what ingredients to buy. And so we gave up. We called the one responsible for the argument. Little did we know that he gave different ingredients to sooth our taste.

1 medium red bell pepper(julienne)
1 medium green bell pepper(julienne)
chopped bacon for garnish
