Last summer, my friends and I celebrated the end of a taxing year with a beach vacation, craving relaxation, adventure, and, naturally, exquisite cuisine. 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. The first taste was heavenly, a blend of flavors transporting us straight to culinary nirvana. This dish quickly became our beach vacation tradition, a reminder of laughter and joy.
