ADOBest of All
Considered as one of the national foods of our country. A food that can remind you of Filipino cuisine , and reminds you of a mother’s dish. This savory recipe is the epitome of balance, a beautiful blend of flavors that simply delight the taste buds. It gives you everything – sweet, sour, salty all wrapped in one amazing dish , so what’s not to love about it. It’s the comfort food of every Pinoy and is best enjoyed with heaping cups of rice. Thought loved by all, adobo, in some sense, has become a polarizing topic for sure you know what is it: Adobo
Adobo is usually served with rice, the staple food of us Filipinos, served hot with that rich brown sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar ,sugar, laurel , and pepper. It is also topped with some fresh circle onions and the meat where brown and juicy as it looks. I myself want to have food that is good in appearance and it also smells. With this I can say Adobo has it all
In terms of its texture I can say that every cut in each pork is indeed delicate and so juicy as you look at it. It also has very chewy pork because of the way adobo was prepared and boiled for about 15-20 minutes in order to bring out its flavor and juiciness. Sometimes I also want it to be a little dry that makes the pork more flavorful and juicier but I guess no matter how dry or more sauce your adobo is it is still a pinoy’s adobo
I can say that adobo’s smell is the smell that is okay to fill in my room because it makes me hungrier and makes me not lose my appetite maybe because of the balanced smell of every component of this adobo. The deep smell of glazed pork really matches, as the salty and sour aromatic sensation of garlic, peppercorn and bay leaf swirled in the air and the smell of vinegar stung my nostrils. I can say that adobo has an adoboosting smell of all.
With this I can say that adobo is a perfect combo for rice because it is just so delicious, the richness of the sour and salty taste is balanced by the sweetness of sugar and an aroma of laurel. Indeed it is an adobest. Adobo I can describe it as one of the most flavorful foods that I have tasted, especially because the place where it is cooked is special.
The best place where I first tasted adobo and I am assuring that adobo in this place is one of the best is our home. Nothing will beat an homemade adobo. Those laughters while eating and loud shouts when ordering while preparing it is one of the best Ican and one last thing is that adobo can make us all burp and say Thanks the Lord because it really makes us full. No wonder why our rice cooker gets down when we have adobo.
I think that of all Filipino foods, adobo is the most versatile. With 7,100 islands, each of the Philippines’ regions has its own version of the adobo. Every Filipino kitchen has its own adobo recipe and each version is unique on its own. It is truly a Pinoy dish.I think that of all Filipino foods, the adobo is the most versatile.

But take not you can only eat a delicious one when the chef or cook makes it with love.
