Chicken Pork Adobo is considered the national dish in the Philippines. The most famous and favorite recipe in the Philippine cuisine where meat is marinated and simmered in a sauce like soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, ,garlic,onions,bell pepper, bay leaves, ground pepper and salted black beans.
Adobo is considered the national dish due to it’s cultural significance,widespread popularity and versatility,reflecting Filipino resourcefulness and culinary history.
By the way,Let me introduce to you all my 14 year’s old eldest daughter who is a foodie lover and loves to cook too. She was six years old when I taught her how to cook Rice ,As you know Filipinos love to eat rice 3x a day and that is breakfast, lunch and dinner. Slowly I taught my daughter how to cook different dishes because she was eager to learn about cooking. She keeps watching me how I do the cooking and she also memorized her favorite dishes, especially her number favorite Chicken Pork Adobo. She asked me to cook this last Tuesday and I told her that we would cook together but because we are on lent season we cannot eat meat during Tuesday’s and Friday’s. So yesterday was Thursday I told her that we would cook Chicken Pork Adobo for Lunch but I would first go to Sm supermarket to buy Pork and Chicken meat also Bell pepper and salted black beans. The rest of the ingredients are in our home already.
When I arrived at the SM Supermarket , I did look at the prices and I compared the prices in the wet market where I used to do my marketing of meat. Then I found out that the meat here in SM is all cheaper and fresh compared to the wet market. I get all that I need and put it into my basket and pay the cashier. I go back home and told my eldest daughter to wash well the meat and the spicies then I take rest for my arms are tired from driving our Honda Beat scooter our source of transportation. While I am resting I instructed my eldest daughter that after she washes the meat and the spicies she would prepare the ingredients for Marinating the meat.

In every Filipino celebration's Adobo is always present or it is always in the table so don't wonder why it is famous and considered the National Dish.
My eldest daughter and I do the cooking together. I enjoyed our time together because we both love to eat and cook.Had you heard about the saying that says (Cooking is like love. You should always season with a generous amount of heart).Any dish that is cooked with love is proven yummy but if you cook or when you are cooking and you're not in a good mood your dish would turn sour ,salty or no taste. Even in cooking it still needs a heart, a heart that loves to cook and loves to feed especially those people that we love. For me cooking is an act of love not just a simple job but a job that needs love to do it and result in yummy dishes.
My heartfelt thanks to all who spend time reading my blog up to the end. I hope you like my recipe shared with you all. This recipe is easy to prepare and cook but you need to be in a good mood and the best way if you are in love ,when you are cooking to make sure the food is exactly delicious.
We ate lunch and enjoyed the yummy Chicken Pork Adobo. THANK you Asean Hive and don’t skip your meal. This is your Hiver @ronimarie82 from the Philippines.See you on my next blog.
