@juniorballoon ’s post about adobo and the ensuing convo has me hankering Filipino food.
The best loempia (ok, second best to my ex’s Thai mom) I’ve had were at a Filipino gathering many moons ago, and I absolutely adored our two meals at Tabachoy, a very popular Filipino restaurant in Philly.
I was hoping we could gather some favorite recipe sources/recipes here. My first attempt at garlic rice and chicken adobo is hopefully just around the corner…
This was the recipe @Thimes shared, and since I’m already a YUUUUGE fan of WoL, I’ll likely try this one first.
Chicken adobo is a Filipino recipe with only a few ingredients. An easy one pot meal, and you won't believe how silky and tasty the sauce is!

The garlic rice sounds easy enuff.

More from “thekitchn,” a site I’m not too familiar with. Have any of you found it to be a reliable source for recipes?

I’ve made the Filipino short rib adobo from thekitchn and everyone enjoyed it
I bookmarked this recipe and might make it this weekend since it looks like we are not going to get a break from winter

We’ve been enjoying a heatwave in the low 50s, but Sunday it’s back to Jack Frost
Good to know about thekitchn. Hey, maybe I’ll do a comparison cook between WoL & SE & thekitchn
I love Halo Halo

Coke has become part of some Filipino adobo recipes.
This brisket recipe , while not from a Filipino source, has Filipino influences and calls for Coke. We liked it.
Here’s a Coke Pork Adobo
I love lumpia. I haven’t made them. I order them a lot.
With crackly wrappers and a delicate pork filling, crispy fried lumpia (Filipino spring rolls) are the perfect party snack.

Some of the Filipino restaurants in Toronto, such as Tagpuan, have a hot table, which is a nice way to try a few dishes at once.

I stopped by Tagpuan on College Street, their 5th and newest location, which has a hot table. 1 item with rice was around $14.95 and 2 items with rice were around $17. They let me substitute pancit (noodles) for rice at no charge.
Lumpia are $0.75 each.
I tried a pork with coconut milk and shrimp paste, and a beef stew with peanut butter as my 2 dishes. I’ll definitely be back. Best $18 meal I’ve had in months. They also sell Filipino pork buns, turon, breads a…
The Beef Kare Kare / beef stew with peanut butter was really delicious.
