  1. There’s so many variety of adobo bc that Philippines is culture packed. In dumaguete they make dry adobo with ginger. Some places even add boiled eggs. I don’t see the issue here.

  2. When he said getting a jack fruit is a daunting task, he's underselling it. The damn thing is heavy, sticky and hard to pick. You have to work for it, but the fruit of your labor is sweet

  3. The mushroom adobo looks legit, i've been missing pinoy adobo since i've gone plant based… The bean dish im not too familiar with, I don't know of many bean dishes in pinoy cuisine, I definitely gotta try it out.

  4. I don’t mind him cooking the dish it looks good but when he said that’s an adobo I immediately had to comment that it’s not because KBL is so far different for our very own adobo. Yes there’s white adobo and a lot of variations but KBL is KBL. It’s a soup.

  5. you can make adobo what ever the fuck you want but calling KBL adobo is an oppression to a much better version of Sinigang..

    KBL is not adobo its lina-ga (type-ish), which is a soup that is boiled for almost 24hrs if necessary to get that OOMH.. pls no pls no

  6. I love that he was upfront that though he is of Filipino lineage, he is not really Filipino as he grew up in the States. HOWEVER, for those of you who are wondering, here are some of my observations:
    1. In the KBL dishes that I have tried, AFAIK, it should be UNRIPE jackfruit. RIPE – for desserts, UNRIPE – used as a vegetable. So this is an interesting twist
    2. Also, AFAIK, we seldom (actually in my family, like never) use coconut oil for cooking. Its use is more along the lines of hair treatment, massage oil, and other external uses. And since it’s hot here, it is literally oil in liquid state
    3. His thing about rice being separate instead of making it the base of the dish to be poured over – 100% accurate. I guess for us, it’s more on avoiding food spoilage so that if there is still left, we can eat them again at a later time
    I love his take on Filipino cuisine. Very interesting.
