Iloilo Philippines

The walang kasawaang Adobo is so very popular in the Philippines that every home has the mastery of cooking such a dish. Adobo makes everyone eat so much rice.

It is a dish of chicken or pork marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, crushed garlic, paminta and some bay leaf. Its savory taste depends on the proportion of the ingredients and the procedure. The color is usually golden or dark brown.

Meat is usually cut into small chunks but there’s one exemption, try checking out Tobeng’s Eatery near Iloilo Doctor’s College and they will give you a large pork chop.

Below is a recipe courtesy of  bachelor Manong Jay Naparato who is a certified Ilonggo. He is really fond of cooking that he even collects write ups about food. He is the youngest among the staff at Balay Ilonggo.
