Adobo 'to

ADOBO is probably the most popular Filipino dish and perhaps every Filipino's favorite! Like if I were asked what's my top 10 favorite food, I'd go for Adobo at the top of my head. Adobo is the perfect mixture of sweet, sour, salty and a little spicy. The ingredients make the Adobo really really unique and perfect to be paired with rice. Like everytime I'd eat Adobo, whatever man ang style, I must have RICE to go with it! It can stand alone, but if you want to feel completely satisfied, you should eat it with rice. 

I have tasted several styles of Adobo - from my Auntie's Adobo (which I used to think was the best Adobo ever); then my Papa's Cebu Style Adobo (marinated with natural vinegar and just completely extract the oil from the pork); then my Boss' Mother's Adobo; and then there's ADOBO 'TO's Adobo. 

All the photos that I have here is my FAVORITE ---- Cheesy Pork Adobo! 

It may sound weird at first, especially for those who finds cheese weird - but  love cheese eh, plus I love Adobo - so it was kinda weird at first, but after putting it on my mouth, heavenly sensation lang talaga. 

Actually the first time we visited their branch in Blessings, I ordered Sisig. It was a lot different from the normal sisig, for reasons I cannot recall. I've had those last year pa during our internship in college. Their sisig was good - it's just too bad they don't offer it on their Strata branch coz' their booth is right beside a sisig store. I would've wanted them to offer it padin kasi ang chaka nung sisig sa kabila eeh. Hahahaha. I mean, my type of Sisig kasi is yung mala'Gerry's Grill or Gilligan's na sisig - crispy na medyo moist. Oh well.

The Adobo Meal comes with atsara (?) and egg... 

The Verdict: 4.5/5 - I have always been coming back for more since my first time with it. I have even research about their other locations, asked questions on their Facebook page to check if they have a branch near our office - and they do!! The day after, I went to Strata and found 'em! Their Adobo is so unique and tasty - that I have even advertised about it's goodness to my officemates and relatives and to almost everyone I meet na naghahanap ng masarap na food. Another thing I have realized is the egg is a good neutralizer especially when the Adobo is too salty (plus the cheese pa). I kind of slice them into pieces (shown in the photo above) and mix it with the Adobo - and for me, it's heaven!! Aargh! As I am writing this now, I could literally feel the chills, na parang I want to have this meal tomorrow! Hahahahahaha But seriously guys, you should try it. Maybe someday we'll be amazed they'll decide to open a couple more branches like what Mang Inasal did. 

Recently though, since it has become a City Ordinance in Pasig to Ban Plastics, they put them on a paper-bowl thing which is kinda OKAY for me since the sauce in placed na on the rice.Sad thing lang is medyo konti nalang yung serving ng Adobo. Huhuhuhu Nonetheless, I still love ADOBO 'TO Cheesy Pork Adobo - kahit medyo hindi accomodating si Kuya na nagbabantay. Hikhikhik 

Visit ADOBO 'TO in Blessings in Ayala, Makati, and Strata 2000 in Emerald St. Ortigas, Pasig City. For more info, visit their Facebook Page: Adobo 'to.
