Adobo Connection: Where You can eat in Different Varieties of Adobo

Weekend,  we decided to eat dinner at SM, and it because Sunday known as Family day there are  lot of people and a long line in all food chain and restaurant.  Therefore, we found Adobo Connection no line of people at that time so we decided to eat there.

Adobo Connection is a food chain that serves variety of adobos in affordable prices whether it is pork, chicken, spicy, saucy or dry. It is also serve unlimited rice.  

          

The staffs are nice and accommodating. The place is clean and has a nice display around the corner that truly attracts my eyes. The foods are good, but we a have a little bit disappointment in spring rolls because it is a little bit sunog (over toast). The Pansit we ordered is dry and cold. Unlike other pancit, it is saucy, hot and the noodles are soft. We are pancit lovers so we didn't expect like that but still we do not know if it they just cooked as they served to us, sorry to say that we didn’t like it.

On the other side, we love their Classic Beef Adobo and Adobo sa Gata, it is creamy in gata (coconut cream) and both adobos are taste good. Their veggie Kare-Kare is also taste good. The sauce is delicious and it is very good combination for their bagoong. 

What we like most is their halo-halo. It is so creamy and yummy. The milk, cheese and the sweetness combination is just right. Two thumbs up on that. Thanks for accommodating us Adobo Connection @ SM City Baliuag.

Gaku Nakamura is a self-styled Japanese Ramen Consultant living in Manila. Last year, he listed his top 10 ramen with Ramen Nagi topping the list. But with a number of new and authentic restaurants popping up, here is some of Gaku-san’s top ramen for 2015!

#5 MendokoroRamenba

MUST TRY: ShoyuTonkatsu

Gaku says: “Mendokoro has tonkotsu-based ramen with chashu. The restaurant looks just like a Japanese-style kitchen and it reminds me of a good ramen restaurant in Japan, Afuri. The taste of the broth and chasu is very nice.”

#4 MitsuyadoSeimen

MUST TRY: Cheese Tsukemen

Gaku says: “Tsukemen soup is yuzu flavor and the noodles are thick. I have never thought that cheese can fit wihTsukemen, but you will be satisfied once you taste it at Mitsuyado!

#3 Ramen Daisho

MUST TRY: Miso Ramen

Gaku says: “The best Miso ramen in Manila! It is located along Shaw Blvd. Although not located in a major mall, lots of people go there just to eat Daisho's delicious ramen. Not only ramen, but their gyoza are also delicious.”

#2 Ramen Nagi

MUST TRY: Butao Ramen

Gaku says: “Nagi’stonkotsu-based broth tastes like real Japanese tonkotsu. If you’re a first-time visitor, try Butao. When you've eaten half of it, try to add their Fire sauce to change the taste. You can also change the firmness of the ramen and the toppings based on your preference.”
