I continue to study Tagalog and learn more about Filipino history and food. Adobo Chicken looks DAMN GOOD!

"Filipino Chicken Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines and may well become your new favorite Asian chicken dish! Just a few everyday ingredients I can practically guarantee you already have, it’s an effortless recipe that yields juicy, tender chicken coated in a sweet savory glaze with little pops of heat from peppercorns.

This is a chicken thigh recipe, and it MUST be made with thighs – no substituting with chicken breast!"

Tumbong Soup is made out of pig's intestines added with onion leeks, fried garlic and salt. It is best paired with fried rice.
