Pinoy Diner, a no-frills favourite in Werribee, makes their kare-kare with moreish chunks of casserole beef and traditional vegetables of string beans, eggplant and bok choy.

For the unfamiliar, kare-kare is the ultimate labour of Filipino love. Oxtail – braised for hours until fork-tender – forms the velvety, rich base of this peanut stew filled with vegetables and spiced with annatto powder for its bright marigold colouring. Modern recipes, however, often use alternative cuts of meat that can still create a deep, flavourful stew, like beef shank or chuck steak.

At Pinoy you can also find traditional dishes like sizzling pork sisig, fried tilapia fish, and desserts such as cassava cake and leche flan.
