- It's like an unpleasant surprise.
- Oh my God.
Did you hear my belly?
I dunno what's going on.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Mae and today I'm trying
- other Filipino women's Adobo.
- Adobo is the Philippines national dish.
- Everyone have their own way of making their own Adobo.
- The most important aspect would be
the soy, the vinegar, bay leafs, and garlic.
- I don't put bay leaf in my Adobo.
I dunno if that's weird.
- My perfect Adobo has a lot of Sabaw, which is the soup.
- The meat has to be tender and delicious, nothing chewy.
- Maybe there might be a chicken
and pork one, gonna have to see.
- I can't wait to try everyone elses' Adobos,
but let's just get to it.
- I'm not gonna lie.
I switched up this Adobos.
I kept it in the slow cooker for like five to seven hours
and I added carrots because you know,
we need to have some vegetables.
- It's pork.
I love pork.
- First off the sizing of the meat's tiny.
Isn't it?
- It looks nice, but it's just the smell.
I just can't get that, that Adobo smell.
- It's got carrots in it.
It's weird to me, but it might be nice.
- I think there's coconut on there you know.
This is definitely much more sour than mine.
- It smells different to me.
It might just be me though.
(sniffs)
Mmm.
Well, it's different.
- Is there vinegar here?
I can't actually taste the vinegar.
It's a bit tasteless.
I think it's the carrot that just take away the taste.
- The meat is really soft.
It's nice.
- The best thing about this dish is
that I like that they added the fat of pork in there
- But taste wise, it doesn't taste overly like adobo to me.
- I wasn't too sure of the carrots to be honest.
That's first time I've seen Adobo with carrots.
- I like this dish.
I don't think it needed to be improved.
If her family loves it, then that's all that matters.
- I would improve this by adding a little bit more
of the traditional Filipino Adobo ingredients.
You gotta have peppercorns in Adobo.
Maybe remove the carrots.
- It's nice
but yeah, it's just needs a bit more seasoning
- For an Adobo dish, I would give this a five of 10.
- I would give this dish of seven out of 10.
- I will give this a five outta 10.
- Bit more seasoning.
That's it.
Thank you.
My Adobo is nice and suckling, juicy.
I like a bit of that burnt in there
so that crispiness and my kids love it as well.
Well, they have to love it.
Isn't it?
I'm their mom.
- Mmm.
Oh, hello.
Oh, there's egg.
- Smells so fragrant.
I love it.
- So what's this about?
I'm kind of sad cause my rice is gonna feel a little bit dry
cause there's no soup.
- We usually use Jasmine rice,
but Basmati rice is also nice.
- The pork size is great.
Actually this is perfect, I think.
- It's talking to me cause of all the oil from the fat.
- Mmm, it's good.
There's more vinegar in this Adobo than I'm used to.
- Mmm, nice and soft.
So good.
- I can tell that they put a bit
of Chilian oil in that short Adobo.
So, that's a nice little kick to it.
- I would really like a bit, just a tiny bit of sauce.
- I feel like I'm chewing a lot.
The rice is dry as well because there's no sauce.
- I think it's good.
It's a good Adobo.
But the meat are, the meat is just perfectly cooked
and it goes really well with the chili oil.
- She chilly.
- The chili oil is actually really nice to it.
I really like this Adobo.
In saying that I'm not entirely a fan of dry Adobo.
- It just feels like a fried dish,
rather than a soupy home dish.
- I would definitely borrow the egg idea
but I probably wouldn't cook it as cooked as this.
- I'll give this dish eight out of 10
because it looks like an Adobo.
It's just that for me, I want more sauce.
- I'd give this seven out of 10.
- I would give this Adobo an eight out of 10.
I want to give it a lot more than that to be fair.
- But why didn't you?
- Because I down like bay leaf.
In my Adobo, I use pork as the main ingredient.
Also in my Adobo, I add a bit of green chilis.
It just gives that extra flavor for me.
Yeah. You really need to try it.
- It smells really good.
Like that was the first thing that hit me
- Put up her Adobo it's nice.
It's quite similar to what I would do.
- From what I can see, they've got onions
and it's got fat in the pork.
- The chili, I dunno if I'm going to even try
and attempt that chili
because I don't wanna be like.
(steam whistles)
- Mmm, okay, Mmm, no, maybe I just don't take chili oil.
- Oh.
You can taste the chili, but not much spice in it.
- Mmm.Mmm.
That's nicely cooked the meat.
That's really nice.
It feels like they actually marinate it
because I could taste them, the sauce more in the meat.
- So initially I did think it was gonna be dry
but when you bite into it, it's nice and soft.
- I like that.
It's got the fat in the pork
cause I think that adds flavors to it as well.
- The meat is really nice.
It's not chewy.
It just melts in your mouth.
So, it's lovely.
It's lovely taste.
- My least favorite thing is the chili.
I'm not into that.
Especially for my Adobo.
- This lady cooked it really, really well.
She should be proud of herself.
- I would like to know what else she's put in there.
It's delicious.
(laughs)
- I'll give this Adobo nine out of 10.
- I don't give anything 10, but you are so close to 10.
I will give this Adobo a nine.
- I give this Adobo a five out of 10.
- I know there's more to eat, but this is lovely.
- My Adobo today has chicken and pork.
I couldn't decide which meat to use,
so I added both.
It doesn't have a lot of sauce
but it's got an intense flavor in it.
- Ooh.
It's chicken and pork.
- I've had people do that actually
but I've never made it myself.
- It's a really big chicken with this small little pork.
- It smells more vinegary than the usual Adobo.
- I see the danger, the little black pepper ball.
Don't have this in your mouth.
(laughs)
- The meat looks tender and it looks like it's well cooked.
And it's got the peppercorns, which love.
- No, no ginger unless it's under there.
Let's see (laughs)
- Mmmm, it's tender.
It's succulent.
- Mmmm. It's not that chewy.
It's nice and tender.
It's lovely.
- Mmmm.
Mmmmmm.
Oh I like this Adobo.
- Okay the pork's good.
Let's try the chicken.
Mmm.
How many mmms have I said now?
(laughs)
I think you're gonna have to leave some on the side for me.
I'm gonna finish this.
- I reckon they actually, you know, marinated overnight
to get that juiciness.
- The sauce is thick, which is good.
- My favorite thing about this Adobo is probably the mixture
of the chicken and the pork.
Taste is amazing actually.
I really like it.
- Yeah.
I would also maybe cut up the chicken,
maybe have it the same size as the pork.
- It's nice.
It's just, I haven't got that vinegary and the sauces,
it's just I think a little bit more.
- The meat's perfect, I thought
and it's something that I would really like to eat again.
- I would give this score seven out of 10.
- I would give this Adobo dish a nine out of 10.
- I'd give this Adobo an eight out of 10.
- Yay.
- I'm so happy.
Thank you so much.
Maraming Salamat!
- Really? Can they try it again?
(laughs)
- It's okay.
I'm gonna eat some more of mine at home anyway.
