Hi,

While preparing the newsletter, I came across this interesting article from New America Media. The article suggests that Filipino cuisine is poised to break through gastro ceiling.  If some foodies are predicting it right, the year of the Dragon is the year of the "adobo".  Adobo is one of the country's famous dishes.  It is braised chicken or pork in soy sauce, garlic and vinegar.  It is the ultimate Filipino dish, the signature of Filipino cuisine.
 
During the recent Winter Fancy Foo Show in San Francisco, the show's organizer opted to feature this dish for their cover.  In the feature story, the author cites what makes Filipino cuisine stand out - "big, bold, sweet, sour and salty".  It is not just the adobo which prompted the author to make this claim.  There is also the famous Kare-Kare which I must say, I truly enjoy.
 

 
Over the years, Filipino cuisine has evolved from its Malayo-Polynesian origins to the mixed repertoire that now defines it.  It is a mixture of Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, American and Asian influences.  Specialties vary as you move from one region to another.  In truth, it is this global heritage that works as the key to the cuisine's global breakthrough.
 
I don't know if you agree with the article's claim, but I must say I definitely enjoy adobo and kare-kare. However, I don't have the recipes for them below.  What I have are really delicious rice recipes.  Check them out especially the Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango in Sushi Form Recipe.
 
Again, if you would like to check out our previous editions, please click here.   If you have something to say or to suggest, why don't you give me a holler!  Send me an email and I will consider your suggestion or request
