“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” ― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own!
This food was taken during my visit in Boracay. The place is called Sunny Café and they offer breakfast dishes. This time I ordered adobo.
I was quite surprised that the rice is colored orange.
The poached eggs were also pretty as well. Too bad I wasn’t able to take a picture when I sliced through those eggs, they’re quite a sight to see.
Dish wise, I am not a fan of salty flavors. The dish was a bit salty for me but overall it was a good meal.
Adobo is from the Spanish term “adobar” which means seasoning, sauce or marinade. This dish is very popular around the Philippines. The traditional process of cooking is composed of seafood, meat (pork or chicken), veggies that is marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, black peppercorns and garlic. They are cooked until brown, then simmered and marinated.
All over the Philippines, Pinoys have their own artistic way of cooking adobo. Other parts of the country cook it with soup or no soup. Some have it sweetened and some have it salty.
Why is this so? My country has over 7,000 islands. We have unique and diverse cultures, this is why this most cooked dish has unique versions of it in every place.
