Sounds like an interesting dish - never knew any dish that combines beef with banana bud. This is a first. Would give it a try.

Oh, I adore kare-kare! I like the ox tripe really soft yet still a little chewy. A little bit of beef (the meat itself) also makes for a great mix. Now you have me wanting some!
