About Our Adobo

Adobo is more than just a dish – it's a culinary tradition that defines Filipino cuisine. At ChowKeni, we prepare our Adobo using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The process begins with marinating premium chicken or pork in our signature blend of vinegar and soy sauce, allowing the meat to absorb all those wonderful flavors. We then add generous amounts of fresh garlic, aromatic bay leaves, and whole black peppercorns before slowly braising everything together until the meat becomes incredibly tender.

What makes our Adobo special is the perfect balance of flavors – the tanginess from the vinegar, the umami depth from the soy sauce, the aromatic punch from the garlic, and the subtle warmth from the black pepper all come together in harmony. As the dish simmers, the sauce reduces and intensifies, creating a rich, glossy coating that clings to every piece of meat. The longer it cooks, the better it gets, with the flavors melding together beautifully. Traditionally served with steamed white rice (which soaks up all that delicious sauce), our Adobo is the ultimate comfort food that tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.

Perfect Pairings

Adobo is traditionally enjoyed with plenty of steamed white rice or garlic fried rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. Pair it with a side of fresh vegetables or our Pancit noodles for a complete Filipino meal. For a true feast, order it alongside our Crispy Pata or Sisig. Many Filipinos also enjoy Adobo with a fried egg on top for breakfast!
