First time trying Filipino food... and I'm hooked.

[@TheOriginalRick]

When I woke up one morning and realized the beautiful, smart, 20-year old Filipina I married the day before didn't know how to cook American food I thought I was going to starve over the next few years until she could learn. She offered me a deal, in that she would cook Filipino food for a few days, and if I didn't like it, she would not cook it again. Seemed reasonable, so I agreed. Well, she cheated. She cooked pork adobo for me the first night. It was so delicious that I ate it all, and asked her to fix it again the next night. It was so addictive that for four days that was all I wanted for supper. I've since learned to eat and enjoy many more Filipino dishes over the past 50 years together with her. And we've spent five decades exploring the world's cuisines side-by-side in the kitchen. Our kids picked up on the love of cooking, and are now teaching our grandkids the love of not only the Filipino food they grew up with, but also many others.

Beautiful!

Such a beautiful story. 😊

[@what.tomorrow.brings]

What a beautiful story. One we can all learn from. I am so excited to know that this is just the beginning of a lifetime of enjoying and exploring Filipino food. There is just so much I want to try. I must visit soon! From what I've gathered, the people are so friendly and welcoming. I'm blown away by all the support after publishing this video. It is overwhelming. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story. Truly inspiring.

The sauce for the lechon kawali is a liver sauce. The sweetness usually comes from the type of vinegar we use. Its a coconut vinegar.

[@eirenedelosreyes6025]

looks legit. nice to see authentic cuisine of filipino food. no fusion or whatsoever.

[@hzlhope]

This is by the design and pride of the Chef. Thank you for noticing!

[@valerieneal2747]

I LOVE FILIPINO FOOD. I'VE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MANY DISHES AND DESSERTS AND IT IS MY FAVORITE CUISINE. THIS SISTA' WILL WORK FOR PANCIT, LECHON KAWALI, KARE KARE, SINIGANG AND PEANUT TURON AND A MULTITUDE OF OTHER FILIPINO CUISINE😂. FILIPINO PEOPLE ARE SO GENEROUS AND HAVE THE BIGGEST HEARTS IN THE WORLD...AND THEY ALWAYS WANT TO FEED YOU. I LOVE Y'ALL. BEAUTIFUL.

I lived in ATL and worked in Gwinnett County for 4 years (2011-2015) and there were no legit Filipino restaurants. Sadly Buford Hwy did not have a single one worth praising. Glad to see things are changing in the right direction there. Miss ATL! Gotta put this place on my list when I come back to visit.

[@idcross10]

So nice that you mixed the rice in the bowl with left over adobo sauce and adding the lechon, it's actually very Filipino. Left-over adobo sauce mixed with rice is already a meal in itself. :)

[@janrevmax8185]

Sabaw pa pa lang, ulam na! 👍🏼

[@94kiana2001]

When you took the rice and added it to the adobo juices at the bottom of the bowl, I said out loud, “YES girl!

You're eating the food correctly!! 🥺 So many people try Filipino food without rice and it's drastically different if you eat the 'Ulam' or dish on it's own. The rice just takes the edge off.

[@marcusaurelius-s1w]

I immigrated to the US in the summer of 1990. I was 9 yrs old and starting in the 4th grade. Our other family members that were already here tried their best to let us know of the many social norms, the do's and dont's, but they failed to explain to me that bringing lunch from home was a "no-no" especially if you're bringing something exotic like Filipino food. Well on my 1st day, my Mom had prepared pork adobo over rice for my lunch and I still remember seeing the disgust reaction from my classmates faces when I opened my lunchbox aka Tupperware. Eh, you can say we were just kids back then, but it was the last time I ever brought food from home to eat at school, middle school, high school, college and I still hesitate to bring home food to work. Your reaction to tasting Filipino food is helping ease that childhood pain in me. Thank you.

Every asian kid that came to America in the 80s experience. Same here.

[@sichonesssichoness1212]

Weird...what s so wrong in bringing Home cooked Food?...its more safe n delicious..likewise its culturally correct n respectful with one s identity!..

[@SelwynClydeAlojipan]

That's such a faulty cultural norm: there is nothing wrong anywhere else in the world to bringing home-cooked meals to school or the workplace. Anybody who disapproves can instead just buy my lunch or they can suck it.

[@what.tomorrow.brings]

Thank you for sharing your story. I must say you have nothing to ever hesitate about when it comes to your Filipino culture. In fact, you should be very proud. I cannot believe it took me this long to discover the wonderful world of Filipino cuisine. I really want to visit there soon!

The Lechon Kawali needs more frying to give the skin that golden brown color and crispy, crunchy, crackling texture when you bite into it. It comes with a tangy and sweet liver sauce.

[@violetcastro1057]

I must say that the Pork Adobo looks really good. You can tell that the meat has absorbed the sauce pretty well to make it flavorful and that it has been cooked to tender perfection.

[@JhunM69]

Wow! You did pick the old favorites so I wasn't surprised that you liked them... you can explore some more and next time, try the pork barbecue which is even better than the chicken barbecue. If it's raining, you should try (if they have it) the Pork SInigang and maybe the Beef Kare-Kare... by the way, the Pork Adobo is originally Filipino but the original Adobo didn't have soy sauce which was added later when Soy Sauce (came from China) was introduced in the Philippines. The original was cooked with very little vinegar, whole black pepper, and bay leaves.
