One of the best brands of Datu Puti. Always using them for a quick marinate for my pork belly dinner. Not too spicy but just right, Always nice to have this handy for our meals. If you like it spicy, get some raw chilis and grind them to mix and watch your mouth blow off steam. Either way, you'll love this brand.
