A Pork and Chicken Adobo is the holy grail of Filipino cooking. Everyone seems to have their own version of it and I’m pretty sure they are all good. I’ve previously made a white adobo on youtube (coconut milk + just vinegar, no soy), so here is my dark adobo variant. Again, this is my…

Here’s a rundown of our favorites: “Do you like… cheese?” “Why yes, my favorite’s Gouda!” If you’re not familiar with this (almost) iconic movie…
My favorite weekend activity is going to the local market here in Jakarta to see and buy fresh produce. One particular vegetable that I discovered is the Ubi Madu Cilembu (Honey Sweet Potato from Cilembu). True to its name, it’s the sweetest that I have ever tasted.
