Adobo Connection

Adobo dishes

I was able to try dining at the newly opened Adobo Connection in their SM Sta. Rosa Branch. I insisted mom to take our lunch there, just a week after they opened. They're finally here in Laguna at last!

Like most Filipinos, I am a self confessed adobo freak. For me it's a staple next to rice. I couldn't live without eating an adobo dish within a week. In fact, it's the very first traditional Filipino meal I learned to cook in High School. Since then, I experiemented a couple of ingredients that could complement the traditional taste.

Adobong Hito

Adobo is a popular dish and and at the same time a cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat or seafood marinated in a sauce of vinegar and garlic, browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. This version however presents that fish like Pantat or Hito (Catfish in english) can also be cooked Adobo inspired.

Recipe: Adobong Kambing and Kilawin na Kambing

When I hear the word Adobo, images of chicken and pork comes to mind. Ultimately, when my relatives back in the province showed me their adobo version, I became even more impressed with the versatility of cooking this traditional Pinoy recipe. Their specialty, Adobong Kambing!
