happy birthday to you, although very late, my mom always make the brunette version every sunday (the only time meat is served when we were growing up)she did not pan fried the pork pero yung sauce pina-iga sa pork hanggang lumabas yung pork fat so what we do pag inalis na yung adobo sa kawali lalagyan ng mainit na kanin para makuha nung kanin yung sauce na kumapit sa kawali . sarap tapos the ever-present bagoong balayan and sibuyas tagalog.

have a great birthday MM!

my Mama taught me the same with your “brunette adobo” but added ‘atsuwete’ for color…i was actually wondering why some adobo doesn’t use soy sauce, well, now i know why…a very informative post!

Mr. Marketman, I hope on your next issue you already have your Bistek Tagalog ala Marketman. Looking forward to read it soon. I was able to print a copy of your Santol juice and Adobo ala Marketman. Me and Edrid will try your adobo for our supper.

Great post MM. We pan fry our adobo too … good idea on separating the chicken from pork. I might just do that next time.

My mom-in-law cooks this wicked calamari adobo every now and then and, man, it has got to be one of the best adobo there is. The ink in the sauce really enhances the flavor … ‘tastes really good in a plateful of hot steamy rice.

‘Ya know … food really played an integral role during those anti-Marcos rallies :) … I remember sitting amongst the students at Mendiola during those days. The sight of foodstuffs, bags of “pan de sal”, etc. being passed around to everyone who were bent on staging a vigil in front of those tanks and concertina barbed wires made an impression on me. The foodstuffs were donated mostly by the public and total strangers, if I remember it correctly. I did not get to partake in any of them though as I was a just there as a mere observer; noone else knew me. I was just someone who was trying to capture the goings on in my camera. But yeah, it was, indeed, a sight to see in that dimly lit street that one night.

I think I was in my senior year in college when Aquino was assasinated. I recall not being able to concentrate in my studies for the finals … ‘just couldn’t get away from the TV news hungering for any new developments from back home. And so I flew back home instead. The urge to be in the midst of it was just too much.

Anyway, enuf blabberin’ here … Happy B’day MM!

What an informative post, market man! I just love reading about your experiences. I’m from the school of lazy adobo, putting it all in one pot and let it simmer. I’ll have to try your version of cooking it separately and pan frying it.

Happy Birthday! :-)

In just a few hours, it will be your birthday … so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I do hope you will feature what your birthday feast will be because that would certainly be interesting.
And the adobo pictures here make me drool.

I like the brunette adobo. :) Definitely more “sinful” but heck one a month of all that cholesterol can’t kill. I hope.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MM! yES, I was under the impression that you were much older! Congratulations, this is truly a magnificent entry, one of your best, i must say. And reading about your adobo simply made me salivate…
Speaking of which, if you find yourself in greenbelt 3, a MUST is the fantastic adobong kambing in Larry Cruz’ cafe Havana. Orgasmic!!! It’s truly a DON’T MISS experience. I always order it with garlic fried rice. I don’t really care much for game but this one is truly a champion! No gamey, unpleasant taste or odor, just delicious!!!
Yes, what’s in store for the MM’s birthday feast? Looking forward to that entry.
Happy 41st tomorrow!
