There was a cafe in my home town in the Philippines that I always go to just to eat their very delicious Tuna Carbonara. Whenever my friends asked me where we can have lunch or some afternoon tea, I would quickly suggest Port Café. I clearly remember their faces looking so irked and uninterested saying “No, not again! Let’s try another place please?” Because of this, I was inspired to create my own version of Tuna Carbonara. I tried to remember the different flavours I tasted while eating the pasta, and from that I identified each of the ingredients they used to make this scrumptious dish. And guess what, I never again suggested this café to my friends for us to eat at. Some of my friends here in Australia are not very fond of eating tuna. You can actually replace tuna with ham slices or even bacon bits. It will still have the same yummy goodness.
