Adobo in Halifax | Filipino Food
Five Filipinos, five adobo recipes. Each one is the correct one.
Adobo is meat simmered in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns, eaten with plain white rice. The name is Spanish, from adobar, to marinate. The cooking is Filipino.
A straight answer for Halifax: adobo is not on our regular menu. It is part of the Sunday brunch rotation, so it turns up on some Sundays but is never guaranteed.
The guide walks through the family versions, from white adobo with no soy sauce to adobo sa gata with coconut milk, and what to order if you like the sour, salty side.
