Adobo Festival

​This Philippine Independence Day, join us as we celebrate the beloved Filipino dish, adobo, in an exciting culinary extravaganza. We invite all home cooks, professional chefs and cooking students to a culinary challenge like no other. Join us for the Adobo Festival and get a chance to be crowned this year's Adobo King or Queen.

​Showcase your culinary talents with your best rendition of our national dish.

​We will have two types of awards:

​1. Chefs' Choice Trophy
Present your adobo dish to our panel of judges. Tell them the story behind your adobo. What regional variation are you trying to achieve? They will carefully evaluate your dish based on taste, presentation, creativity and the ability to capture the essence of traditional adobo flavours.

​2. People's Choice Award
Throughout the Philippine Independence Day event, guests will taste your adobo and vote on their top choice. At the end of the day, we will tally the votes and announce the winner.

​Mechanics:
1. Please prepare around 70 bite-sized servings of your dish (about 2 tablespoons) so people can decide and vote on the best adobo dish.
2. We will provide the serving dishes. Please bring enough adobo to let people sample it. Mas maraming makakatikim, mas maraming pwedeng magvote.
3. Prepare one serving of adobo (about 1 cup, rice is optional) to present to the judges for Chef's Choice.
