Sharing the Filipino Culture / Filipino Cuisine #1

Hello Steemians! I'm so excited to do this kind of Blog !! Hope you like it though.

I am a Filipino Citizen and I'm gonna share to you some of our culture specifically Filipino cuisine or foods.

So First Up!
FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO

Filipino Chicken Adobo is a popular Filipino dish and cooking process in Filipino cuisine that involves meat, seafood, or vegetables marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and black peppercorns, which is browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade. It has occasionally been considered as the unofficial national dish in the Philippines.
While the adobo dish and cooking process in Filipino cuisine and the general description of adobo in Spanish cuisine share similar characteristics, they refer to different things with different cultural roots. Unlike the Spanish and Latin American adobo, the main ingredients of Philippine adobo are ingredients native to Southeast Asia, namely soy sauce (originally salt), black peppercorns, and bay leaves. It does not traditionally use chilis, paprika, oregano, or tomatoes. Its only similarity to Spanish and Latin American adobo is the primary use of vinegar and garlic. Philippine adobo has a characteristically salty and sour (and often sweet) taste, in contrast to Spanish and Mexican adobos which are spicier or infused with oregano. (Meaning from Google)

Well I'm gonna tell you at my first try, its not that bad though Haha but I find it good, to be honest if you are eating and this chicken adobo is your viand, I tell you, you will want more, crave for more, you will add your rice until your satisfied enough.
