Adobong Baka, Beef Adobo

Adobong Baka
Beef Adobo is a dish to try when ever you visit Batangas or Tagaytay, it's called Batangas adobo. These are the places where you could find the best adobo, it's obvious since part of Metro Manila supply of local beef and carabeef are from Batangas and Tagaytay.

Beef Adobo

For some reasons beef is not usually cooked adobo, compared to pork or chicken in most household. When cooked right beef adobo is equally great, the richness of the beef adds more flavor to the tanginess of an adobo dish.

Champeni of Batangas

Champeni of Batangas . Champeni or champene, sampeni or sampene , whats in a name, the important is, this goat or beef innards dish is a must try when you are in Batangas . I could not really confirm the common name of this delectable dish. Based on people that I have met and places and that I have visited in Batangas , the pronunciation varies. Even the cooking procedures and ingredients differ depending on the locality in Batangas . These are usually based on every family cooking practice, type and availability of ingredients, similar to the Batangas Kaldereta there are countless versions out there. I you have searched the internet you may have noticed that there is not enough information of the Champeni of Batangas . I could only share my knowledge and information about Champeni based of my long association with my Batangenyo friends and colleagues, and my frequent work assignment in Batangas . At this point can I ask our readers from Batangas to share with us mor...

Turbo Crispy Pata

Turbo Crispy Pata . “Turbo” in Pinoy cooking refers to a dish cooked in turbo broiler , the most common is turbo chicken . On this post I want to share how to turbo cook crispy pata . This post is actually overdue, several readers have been asking if I had tried to cook crispy pata using the turbo broiler on my first crispy pata recipe a few years back. Click this link Crispy Pata , to see that post. If you are interested there is also a bonelsee version in the archives, click the link Boneless Crispy Pata to see that post. Ok back to my Turbo Crispy Pata , the idea of cooking crispy pata using the turbo broiler is to drain out or at least reduce the fats. With turbo crispy pata we have a healthier version . However the turbo crispy pata would not have the usual crisp skin with moist and succulent meat of a traditionally deep fried crispy pata . At least it is easier to cook, you won’t be dealing with splashes of hot oil. Remember this was my first attempt, th...
