At first glance this Adobo is like a normal lutong bahay

ulam served during lunch...reddish brown color chicken,

yellowish orange sweet potato and crushed laurel leaf that

gives an aromatic smell of this special ADOBOng Tuyo,

Paired by smoking hot rice (milagrosa / miracle rice) plus

cold coca-cola.....wheeww!  

When i start my lunch....i can't understand the taste------>perfect!

chicken is so soft, potato is crunchy and
the smell & taste of the food is so perfect.

This is the FOOD!

Thanks for the lunch and accommodating me, Fannie & Jayson.
You're so kind couple. See you soon.

Noodles are an essential ingredient and staple in Chinese cuisine.
There is a great variety of Chinese noodles, which vary according
to their region of production, ingredients, shape or width, and manner
of preparation. They are an important part of most regional cuisines
within China, as well as in Taiwan, Singapore, and other Southeast
Asian nations with sizable overseas Chinese populations.
Chinese-style noodles have also entered the native cuisines
of neighboring East Asian countries such as Korea and Japan
(dangmyeon and ramen, for example, are both of Chinese origin),
as well as Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines,
Thailand, and Cambodia.

Kaninang umaga...bago kami magpa-putol ng buhok (full circle & kiko)....dumaan muna kami ni kiko sa Al Fai Restaurant, dito lang sa Satwa (Dubai).Naka tuwaan kong kunan ng litrato itong tapsilog (nasa itaas) bago namin kainin.

_______________________

Tapsilog is the term used when tapa, garlic-fried rice ("sinangag"), and fried egg ("itlog") are combined into one meal, which is served primarily during breakfast.[1] The word tapa is related to the Sanskrit term tapas which means "heat".In Tagalog, a restaurant that primarily serves tapa is called a tapahan, tapsihan or tapsilugan. According to some sources, "tapsilog" and "tapsihan" are slang words. However, these terms are used by those restaurants and many Filipinos of all social strata. Tapsilog and tapsihan, therefore, may be considered standard words in the Filipino language and not slang.
