Among the many Filipino dishes, I believe it is the Filipino Adobo that is the most popular. As per Wikipedia, it has occasionally been considered as the unofficial national dish of the Philippines.
The Hubs has even informed me that the first thing all the people he ever meets says, when he tells them he married a Filipino is, “I bet you get to eat a lot of adobo!” So the dish is obviously known worldwide. And though it’s now known as a dish of the Philippines, the name was taken from the Spanish language and given to the indigenous cooking method of the native Filipinos that also uses vinegar. Many things in the Philippines have a Spanish influence seeing that the islands were under the influence of Spanish colonization for over 300 years.
And if you search online, there are already a lot of Filipino Adobo dishes that have been created by chefs or those who just love to cook. They gave their own twists to it which were pretty impressive.
When Hubby and I had our wedding anniversary lunch date last month, I was really surprised to see a Filipino Adobo dish on the menu. And I was delighted to the twist that they put to it. I’ve never had a Filipino Adobo Wrap before. And this dish was from our most favorite restaurant here in the city, Corner Kitchen.
The Filipino Adobo is one of the quickest and easiest dish to prepare with very little ingredients yet it is so tasty and flavorful. It can be prepared with either pork or with chicken.
Pork Adobo
I have shared a Pork Adobo recipe here before. We like it with hard-boiled eggs, but you can prepare the pork adobo without the eggs.
Chicken Adobo
Then a few days ago, I saw this new twist on a chicken adobo, it has coconut milk and honey in it. I have never tried chicken adobo with coconut milk before mush less with honey too. So I tried her recipe and it was good. You can find the recipe here.
Have you had Adobo before? If you haven’t tried it yet, you should give it a try. I bet you’re going to like it. 🙂
Happy Food Trip Friday and have a great weekend!
Sorry to say I have never enjoyed anything like this before. Looks and sounds really good. May have to give it a try.
I have never cooked with adobo and did not realize it was so important to Filipino cooking. This looks like a great seasoning for chicken or pork
I had this once, my friend’s mom made. It was so good. I need to try it with chicken at home soon
That’s great, Monica. Pork adobo is really good.
This looks good. I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything like this before. I should!
My Filipino friend has actually made both variations for me. I like the pork best.
So sweet of your friend to do that, Tami. And I’m so glad to know that you liked it.
Woah this looks super delicious! I would totally try to eat this, it would be a first.
I have made chicken adobe before. My son actually loves this dish and requests it about once a month. It is really tasty!
This dish looks so inviting. I should make it for my family! I am sure they will love it!
This looks interesting but I don’t eat pork or chicken.
I have heard of it, I just don’t think I’ve tried Adobo! These dishes look delicious though. I want to try it.
Looks delicious I read about filipino abodo dish. But never tried it myself, since you gave me the recipe I can check it out chicken version looks perfect.
I haven’t tried adobo with coconut milk and honey yet, I’m so curious of the taste! We’ll cook adobo this week, yum!
The first time I had Filipino Adobo chicken was at my daughter’s wedding. It was delicious! When we came home, I found a recipe online and made it. My version was still pretty good, but not as good as what we ate at the wedding.
I love Filipino food… My favorite is chicken adobo, and stir fry noodle.
This looks super yummy!! I bet it smells amazing and makes your whole house smell delicious!
You bet! 🙂
There are so many tasty exotic Filipino foods and recipes. They may don’t look that good but the taste is really awesome
