Filipino food: Adobo

i know there is a filipino restaurant in new york but i cant seem to remember the name. I feel its good that people from other countries can taste some of our delicacies. but personally i hate adobo not because of its taste but because its the standard dish in every filipino restaurant. Youll find it everywhere.

this is very common viand for Filipinos. I always cook pork or chicken adobo in our house because for me it is just easy to prepare and to cook. I don't know what you are pertaining to a true Filipinio Chicken or pork adobo, but I just learned it from my mother. If I will be in New York and will see it in the menu, I'll definitely try their style of cooking adobo there.

i particularly am not fond of adobo unless am aware my grandmother cooked it. other than that i don't think i would order it anywhere: be it in a fancy place or not. i think really good adobo takes a whole lot of time to prepare and meticulous attention to the ingredients and the talent of the cook to all blend in together. i think it is one dish that could really set the bar for the good cooks.

i don't think i would still order for a chicken or pork adobo! I myself could cook it so I don't think I would still order that, maybe I'll just go for something which I don't usually eat and foods that are hard to cook! :)

I actually did get to try some Filipino dishes when I was in New York and New Jersey. The other dishes came close to home, but the adobo that I had wasn't as good as the ones we make here. According to my brother, it's the different brand of soy sauce available at stores there. Also the pork cubes/chicken cuts are too lean and bereft of the necessary fat that makes adobo flavorful. I tend to believe that this isn't a problem in California as there are plenty of Filipino stores there that sell local ingredients.
