Filipino food (Lino's Baon version)

I tried to cook Lino's Baon version "Tortang Dulong ( Filipino food )" this morning. The Tortang Dulong is like omelette which includes whitebait. Lino's Baon version added chopped vegetables (Carrot and green leaks) and cheese. The cheese become crispy and it's so delicious!! Let's try to cook Lino's Baon version Tortang Dulong♪

Philippines is an island nation and blessed with an abundance of seafood. The whitebait is one of seafood and it has great nutrition for children's growing. As you may know, the main nutrition of whitebait is Calcium. 

Do you know that the organic acids such as malic acid and citric acid contained in vinegar or citrus, helps to carry and absorb the calcium into the our body very well by being bound to the calcium? 

Water + whitebait 13% absolute
Vinegar + Whitebait 78% absolute
Citrus + Whiyebait 89% absolute!!

So it's good to eat the Tortang Dulong with vinegar or calamansi!!
