Adobo is one of the best Filipino viands of all time and even considered as the national dish. No Filipino will be tired of eating the usual adobo, whether it is pork or chicken. But many of us want to have something different sometimes. And this time, Adobo is made richer with coconut milk.
My husband works in Saudi Arabia. Everyone knows that eating pork in that country is strictly prohibited. So when his first vacay came, I was so excited to prepare different pork dishes. He was even more excited than me! He asked and requested specific dishes and Adobo was one of those. I surprised him with this one and he totally liked it. He even shared it to his friends and made it as their "pulutan" (Filipino term used to accompany with an alcohol drink). All of his friends were thrilled and had nice reactions.
