Adobo

There are two truths about chicken adobo: Every Filipino family has its own recipe, and every chicken adobo tastes better the day after it’s been cooked. It is considered as the country’s national dish made with vinegar, soy sauce, peppercorns and lots of garlic. The perfect balance of flavours and will surely tingle your taste buds.

With over 7,000 islands and hundreds of colourful festivals, the Philippines has more flavours than islands, which is a significant statement. Filipino cuisine is a blend of several flavours. Adobo is one such dish; it takes a variety of flavours to create its comforting homecook taste. And the only thing Filipinos enjoy more than eating is making other people eat. Thanks to the island nation’s turbulent history of Western colonisation and different occupations, Malay, Spanish, American, Japanese, and Chinese influences can be found in the intricate and interesting tapestry of Filipino food.
