Food Adventures: Adobo Connection (500 Shaw Zentrum)

The entrance to Adobo Connection
When people hear the word Adobo, what usually comes to mind is mom's delicious homemade recipe that is sure to put a smile on our faces.

Driving along Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong the other night, I chanced upon Adobo Connection located at a newly-opened commercial center named 500 Shaw Zentrum, (right beside the Goldilocks cake plant / commissary) and since I was already hungry I thought I'd try it out.

At first glance you would think that the only dish they serve is adobo, but when I looked at the menu, they have a variety of Filipino dishes available to satisfy what your tummy is craving for. Aside from adobo, they also have sisig, kare-kare, and lechon kawali, to name a few.

Food Choices
What I had for that evening was Adobo Flakes, Pasta Adobo, Kuya's Adobo, Modern Adobo, Sisig, Beef Kare-Kare, Adobo Glazed Fried Chicken, Lechon Kawali, and a side dish of Gising-Gising. (don't worry, I didn't eat everything by myself)

The Sisig was crunchy and flavorful, while the Lechon Kawali was lean and not too fatty as other stores would serve. The Beef Kare-Kare pairs well with their bagoong; while the Adobo Glazed Fried Chicken has a similar taste to the two recent fried chicken restaurants that have opened in the metro.

And of course, who could forget the adobo? Kuya's Adobo had this garlicky taste that brings out its flavor while the Modern Adobo's sauce is made from a mixture of herbs and spices and topped with nuts for a different twist. Their garlic rice is a perfect match for all of the delicious dishes.

Because of the good food and the friendly restaurant staff, (even the owners were there to ensure that the best service is given to customers) everyone who dines here is sure to have a satisfied smile on their faces when they leave the store.
