Adobo

Adobo is my favorite Filipino cuisine. You can choose whether chicken adobo or pork adobo. There is also squid adobo which uses the squid ink as the broth together with vinegar. Adobo is the Spanish word for seasoning or marinade. It involves meat or seafood marinated in a sauce of vinegar, garlic, browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. In the Philippines, Adobo is served in feasts, in birthdays or in ordinary days. For me, my grandmother cooks the best adobo in our family. She puts Some Worcestershire sauce that’s why it’s delicious

In the Philippines, there are many ways on how to cook adobo. Some people put laurel leaves, and pineapple. Adobo has long shelf-life due to it’s primarily ingredient vinegar, which inhibits the growth of bacteria. I can say that most of the Filipinos love adobo because it’s really delicious. Sometimes I use to eat adobo with “pandesal” or salt bread.  People sometimes eat it with freshly sliced tomatoes.  Adobo is recognized as the Philippine’s national dish. Adobo can be cooked dry or moist. Adobo is a comforting food that captures Pinoy’s appetite. From being a favorite dish in every Filipino home, it is now a much-loved viand in most restaurants and other food bistros all over the country. Try to eat it, and it will also be your favorite Filipino cuisine.
