While I was waiting for my bus bound to Ilocos Norte, I decided to pass the time doing what I love- EAT! I entered a restaurant with name "binalot" and learned that most of their meals are wrapped in banana leaves.
I ordered chicken adobo and it comes with 1 cup rice, 1 tomato and half salted egg. Receiving my ordered meal was like receiving a gift, slowly I unwrap the leaves and the aroma of banana leaves awakened my senses. Adobo have different versions all over the country (Philippines) but surely in every version you'll enjoy the marriage of vinegar and soy sauce, garlic, pepper and bay leaves. The chicken meat was so tender its perfect with a spoonful of hot steamy rice in every bite. Tomato is a perfect side dish to freshen the palate and salted egg to entice your taste buds more.
