Hello Food Lovers! Welcome to the final chapter of my blog, as I end this journey I want to share with you my personal story along with a video on how I mastered the classic Filipino Adodo.
As I write my last blog post, I want to thank you for your encouragement and excitement during my blogging experience. Interacting with all of you who share a love for food has truly been delightful.
The Essence of Filipino Adobo
Adobo is special for every Filipino, this dish combines meat ( pork or chicken) marinated and cooked slowly in vinegar soy sauce, garlic, and various tasty spices. Different regions across the Philippines adds its unique twist resulting in various variations. Some versions incorporate coconut milk for a texture while others use annatto oil to give it a flair. Despite these differences, the fundamental adobo recipe remains consistent: tangy, savory, and truly comforting.

A Personal Journey with Adobo
Adobo holds a place in my heart because it was the first Filipino dish I ever learned to cook. When I was in my early 20’s I bravely took on the challenge of preparing it for my cousins despite my reputation for burning things in the kitchen. In fact, during my time working in the USA my manager banned me from using our Airbnb kitchen due to a series of mishaps!
Despite my struggles with cooking I was determined to improve after moving to Switzerland, where dining out is super expensive. Adobo soon became my go-to comfort food—a taste of home that also opened doors to discovering Filipino cuisine. While I used to dread being in the kitchen it eventually became a retreat for me.
Through this blog, I’ve shared my adventures with food enthusiasts worldwide and I am truly grateful for all the support I’ve received. Connecting with others who share a passion for food through writing has been an experience.
Conclusion
As we reach the end of this journey my heart is full of gratitude. For this adventure, I’ve not only shared restaurant and event reviews but also simple recipes that I hope have added a touch of joy and flavor to your meals. Writing these eight blog posts has been an experience for me and your interaction has made it more special.
I want to express my thanks for taking the time to read and support my blog. Your passion and feedback have truly meant the world to me. As I say goodbye I encourage you to drop a comment. Feel free to share your stories about Filipino Adobo or any of the recipes and reviews we’ve delved into together. Let’s continue our conversation even as this blog reaches its conclusion.

Aves I really enjoyed your movie. it’s so cool. I will try this Abodo recipe for sure.
Thank you Nadi! Let me know when you try to make it.
Yes, viva Adobo, my ultimate comfort food as a Filipino living abroad. It’s one of those dishes that I can confidently bring to potluck lunches especially at work because the flavor is universally loved. It has that undeniably East and West elements to it.
You have provided a very good introduction about the dish. And the well-executed accompanying video doesn’t only entertain but also empowers viewers to try cooking chicken adobo themselves (because it’s actually that simple). Next time, I will refer my friends and colleagues to your video if ever they ask me for the recipe. Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that adobo is your go-to dish for potluck lunches and that you’ve enjoyed the video and introduction. I’m really glad it could help make cooking chicken adobo seem simple and accessible. Thank you for planning to share it with your friends and colleagues; that’s a huge compliment!
