One sunset-lit evening, we gathered around a rustic table under a thatched-roof terrace, the ocean stretching before us. The aroma of slow-cooked pork mingled with tropical pineapple filled the air, making our mouths water in anticipation. Heaping portions of juicy pork coated in a sticky pineapple glaze awaited us.
