The Adobo Movement

From Northern Luzon to Tawi-Tawi, every Filipino has their own way of making Adobo. But did you know that even if all of us answer that Adobo is our National Dish, it is not yet so. In 2014, House Bill 3926 led by Hon. Rene Relampagos of Bohol filed the bill in congress to declare Adobo as our National Dish, but till today, the bill is still up for deliberation.

Barbara's Takes You Back In Time

The Walled City of Intramuros is Manila's pride when it comes to culture and history, and it also happens that Intramuros is a favorite destination of balikbayans, tourists, and even locals. Aside from the old structures, Fort Santiago, churches, and museums, it also offers a number of notable restaurants such as Barbara's.

Located just a few steps away from San Agustin church, Barbara's is known for its old Manila glamour. Think Maria Clara and Crisostomo Ibarra.

Filipino Cuisine at Sentro 1771

Lunch yesterday was at Sentro 1771 in Serendra. The restaurant has an array of mouth-watering Filipino dishes to offer including its famous Sinigang na Corned Beef that began the Filipino Cuisine evolution from traditional to modern. We dined at the Serendra branch yesterday to check out the new dishes on the menu and also got to meet Chef Vicky Pacheco. Wow!

Adobo Pizza

Resorts World Manila is not your usual pizza place nor your usual resto. It's a posh casino place akin to those in Macau and in L.A. So the next question is, how is it related to Adobo Pizza?

This is what one calls serendipity. The choices on the menu board doesn't even include adobo pizza. There's the usual smatterin of quattro fromaggio, meat pizza, white pizza, etc. Luckily, serendity strikes. A foodie friend of a friend happens to be there and ordered Adobo Pizza for us.

Adobo Pizza


This pizza was super, super delish! The cheese doesn't overpower the taste of the adobo and vice versa. And the dough was also soft, just the way I like it.
