@Magic Caldereta: HA! I thought it was actually you at first. Someone beat you to the punch! And yes, they’d glare at me if I asked for this at Pinoy Pinay or DJ Bibingkahan! And thanks again BUUUUUUUUUUD!

@Sage Mom: You NEED to try adobo! It’s so synonymous with the culture. Let me know when you do

@Pierre: Je t’en prie! Have you ever tried adobo before? I’m not sure there’s even a Filipino restaurant in Paris…

@Sook: Glad you loved adobo! The classic recipe doesn’t include quail eggs but they’re so yummy with it!

@Skip to Malou: OOOPS! I keep forgetting you’ve changed your identity! I need to make that correction STAT! Thanks for being my Filipino inspiration

And yes, I did see your comment while I was in CR. I’m a nerd, I know! It totally made me laugh when I read what you said too! You were spot on!

@Mimi: We had a great time in Costa Rica. Thanks Mimi! And yup, noodles, rice and soups are tough to capture. I made a lentil soup once and just gave up photographing it!

@Evan: They have quail eggs at Whole Foods or if you have any Asian markets nearby, they definitely have them there!

@Divina: Salamat I love adobo and now that I know how to make it, we’ll be having a lot more of it! I still do prefer the classic way but it’s nice to make it fancy once in a while.

HAHAHA… someone said, “Homely? No way. Homey, yes!” I wish I made that comment it’s so funny. Another funny thought that crossed my mind… I could imagine waiting in line at Pinoy Pinay (a local Filipino restaurant) and asking the servers for “Braised Chicken In an Adobo Reduction”. They would be like “Sus mariosep!”

Once again, good job Dhale

As part filipino, I rarely eat filipino food (even though my grandparents made it all the time), and I’ve never had adobo, but I would definitely try this–you really make it look delicious!

I recently tried abodo for the first time and loved it. This looks delicious with those eggs.

Homely? No way. Homey, yes! But in a good way! You know, often it’s the homey foods that make me run out and try a recipe right away. I think you nailed the certain sophistication. Looks good!

I’m sure Costa Rica has interwebs so I’m definite that you’ll still be reading this haha! Unless you are having too much fun in the sun then I would understand… i LOVE your rendition of adobo! that quail eggs makes it fancy. It’s true that serving Filipino food aesthetically is a challenge, but you’ve done it explicitly well!
Thank you for the mention… I felt my face turn red while reading it! for real! … and when I read Impromptu Diva spelled out I heard a tiny voice say “hey that’s me!” (remember I changed the name of my blog to SKIP TO MALOU?) It made me miss my “other self”. In fact I mentioned that in my latest post which btw featured another adobo (pom glazed adobo) hahaha!
Have fun in Costa Rica… can’t wait for your stories and stunning photos!

homely? no. enticing, alluring, and appetizing? yes, yes, and yes.

Great job on the photos. I think foods involving noodles, rice and stews are difficult to photograph appetizingly. (I think I said that politely)
Have a great time in Costa Rica.

A photo could say a thousand words and I think you did a great job with this adobo. There are so many version and this yours to keep. And for us, we could never get enough of adobo. Whatever variation, it will still be good. This is definitely a five-star meal. Have a safe trip and definitely enjoy.
