. adobo !

we don't have too much typhoon like from there in the capital and other places in the country. with pedring, we only felt stronger than normal wind, colder, and with slightly heavy rains in the evening and until the late morning the following day. but no reported flood or some disastrous events.

Yeah, adobong Kangkong. I think it tastes better that chicken or pork adobo.

Oh yes, very true, neildc. I love "adobong kangkong" too. It could also be "adobong okra " or adobong sitaw" . Yummy! So, how's typhoon Pedring in your place neildc?

Oh, is that your style of doing your chicken adobo? I think, it's truly delicious that way. I will try it also this coming Sunday. We all have our styles of doing our adobo. Anyway it is is done, it always never fails to delight us. Truly a Filipino food, worth cooking and eating!

Why haven't i thought of using pineapple in my adobo, before. I am always cooking adobo, one with plain salt and the other with soy sauce yet it didn't cross my mind that my favorite fruit pineaplle would indeed be a good twist to my adobo. I guess, it's because it's not available when i have to cook adobo, that's why.

me too i am putiing pineapple chunks when i am cooking adobo and my friends really like it.

Chili adobo? Oh that one caught my attention! I like spicy foods and that one would really be something. If you know how it's done, would you mind sharing? anyway, yes adobo could actually be nice to partner with any food. I also tried putting it in my pandesal and it was really a filling meal. There are really lots of ways of cooking adobo. I will be trying adobo with pineapple next week when our daughter comes for her semestral break. I am sure she will like it.

We are not allowed to cook in our room. All foods are serve in our cafeteria...all is free of charge. Unlimited meals and softdrinks. Aside from that only chicken and beef are serve no PIG!

Wow, unlimited meals and softdrinks! Well, i guess i can live without pork meat too, as long as there is chicken and beef. I think you are working in those Arab countries? Am i right?

Why, can you not cook it for yourself, there in your place? A simple adobo will just be of salt, vinegar and pepper. And it's so easy to cook and it's delicious , really!

We're fine actually. We were allowed to go home earlier since they expect the typhoon to get worse in the afternoon but instead of more winds the typhoon was already subsiding just after lunch. In fact we were able to go out and buy stuffs for dinner in the market with hardly any rain at all just before dusk. We live in the outskirts of Makati and the effects is not that much except for the clutter of garbage, leaves and whatever that the wind has brought with it. But the gusts of wind in the morning is quite scary since I can hear the roofs of our neighbors rattle. It's actually very different from what was shown on TV, of waves hammering manila bay that reaches even as high as the trees. For those that live in the provinces you might think that manila has been hardly hit but it's just some parts actually especially the low laying areas and places along the coasts that were more affected. We lost power in the morning but it was restored just before it went dark a privilege when you live in a place just right beside a posh subdivision . Thank god the typhoon didn't brought that much rain with it otherwise it'll be Ondoy all over again in fact it could even be worse than Ondoy. So what about you there?

Just like you last 26th, we were made to go home when lunchbreak comes. But the wind wasn't that strong. I get to buy some emergency foods, in case of brownouts. When i woke up nnear evening , it was already calm. Thanks God, Pedring didn't harm us much. yes, there were floods, and just like there in Manila, it's only on some places. News could really exaggerate.

Actually ybong , in whatever way it is cooked it is still adobo. But then , they differ because they use varieties of seasoning. Like, you can just season it with salt or soy sauce or with vinegar and some would put oyster sauce. Others would even put pineapple while others would put liver spread. So, how's the typhoon in your place ybong?

May i ask if you are a Filipino? Filipinos really love adobo. Though , they have their own preferences on how it should be cooked, it's really a well loved Filipino dish. Yes, adobo is actually delicious specially if you the meat you used has some fat in it. It's the fat that adds so much flavor to adobo.

Other Nationalities are loving it also, that's something to be proud of of our ADOBO. Yes, it could also be of chicken and it could also be a combination of both. And do you know that others are putting liver spread to make it a bit sticky? I have tasted that one and it's delicious. I guess, for special occasions we can do that , for it to have a different twist.

Hmm, makes me hungry too now, as i am commenting back. Adobo is one Filipino dish that the Filipinos are really very proud of. It's one dish that we could replace the main ingredient, with other stuffs, like with kangkong as you mentioned. Yes, quail eggs are very good to add in an adobo dish. Coke completes the meal indeed.

Oh, i like chicken adobo too, specially with all the ingredients you mentioned. I also do some all chicken liver and gizzard adobo and it's really so delicious. I like eating chicken liver adobo indeed! It's soft to the bite and every bite counts.

Yes, that's a killer combo. The coke completes the meal. It takes away whatever rich feeling the adobo has. Indeed, adobo could be done with any either chicken or pork and most of all for okra, kangkong and string beans!

Yes, adobo actually has a long shelf life even without a refrigerator. I remember, bringing a big bottle of it at our dorm when i was in high school. It was submerged in its curdled fat, which made it have a long shelf life. I would eat it when mealtime comes. It usually lasts for 3 or more days.

I guess so. But our adobo has no ginger , nutmeg , star anise and cinnamon. Yours seems a sweet dish. Ours is more of a bit salty and sour .

Yes, we do put potatoes, as a meat extender of adobo. The potato absorbs the sauce, making it so delicious and tasty to eat. Have you tried putting a bit of adobo sauce in your rice? The rice becomes so yummy too!

That's true , adobo is undeniably a distinctive food of the Filipinos. and like you said it's the easiest to cook, no hassle at all, yet one of the best dish indeed!
