What Happens When Cheesy Pizza Meets Salty, Tangy Filipino Adobo? We headed to Shay’s Filipino Cafe to try this Italian-Filipino mashup. March 1, 2021
To be honest, I’m not a fan of most Filipino foods. Surprising, considering I’m Filipino. Don’t ask me why. That being said, I do love certain dishes. Chief among them is adobo. I love adobo. I mean, I really love adobo.
Something about that combination of soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves and black pepper evokes delicious memories of my childhood. Imagine a burst of salty soy sauce with a vinegary tang, followed by spicy peppercorns and the earthiness of bay leaves. Now toss in fatty slabs of pork or juicy chunks of chicken and that’s what I call happiness.
