Pour 8 cups of water into a cooking pot. Let it boil, and then add salt and pepper. Add in the pig ears and face, as well as the Knorr Pork Cube.
Set the heat for the cooking pot to low and continue to boil for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the meat is fork tender. Strain and set aside.
Boil the pig brains using a strainer and cook for about 10 minutes or until it turns white. Remove the cooked pig brains from the heat and set aside.
Heat the grill. Grill the pig ear and face for about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Wait until the pork turns a bit crispy, but not burnt.
Remove the grilled pig parts from the grill. Let it cool down a bit, and then chop into bite-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pig brains and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chili, onion and salt, and then include the chopped pig parts in the mixture.
Transfer to a serving plate, and enjoy.
