Adobo, my favorite!
Nov 5th
In the old days, our elders prepare this viand simple and straighforward. Chicken, soya sauce, vinegar, garlic, dried laurel leaves, pepper and salt, slowly simmered and viola! Fantastic adobo!
Today, because many cooks have different imagination, the adobo has ‘evolved’. Just like in this photo. This I learned from a colleague I used to work with back in Thailand. She would add boiled eggs and caramelized onion rings, ‘wow’ I said to myself, this was also nice!
But I pushed it a little bit as I used ketchap manis (sweet soya sauce) to make mine. Heaven!
Crunchy Chicken skin
Nov 2nd
Whenever I’m in Thailand, this is one of my favorite muchies….crispy chicken skin! Normally sold in the streets of Thailand. And usually women sell them. Pushing their cart with a wok filled with cooking oil, they actually fry these while walking the streets. Sometimes they have spicy vegetables salad to accompany the chicken. And yes, even rice!
But during Thailand vacation, I always reserve rice during dinner time. But this shicken skin, I’d never skip!
