The moment the winner said he didn't measure anything.... He deserved that win... Filipinos don't measure, we feel it. Hahahah

My boy Chris over here with the grandma skills.

I appreciate that they weren’t dragging each other to filth for the sake of competition but actually gave respectful feedback lol

[rosalesenrique]

As a Filipino, you just know that every household has a certain way of making adobo. No adobo tastes the same and honestly the best adobo would always be what your mom makes at home. We never are too critical of peoples adobo because we all know that its made different for each family lmao

[jusmecatalina]

Filipino adobo is so subjective because each region has its own style. I love eating different Filipino adobo because I know I'll always get something different. I'm surprised nobody made yellow adobo, which is my favorite.

[Kuuuuu_]

The thing about traditional and homemade adobo is that (most Filipinos) rely on our guts (instincts) and tastes when it comes to the amount of ingredients being put into the dish, which means that if you want it to be sweet, add more sugar and the likes.

[takuyakobayash]

For someone who doesn't really cook adobo, Chris knows how to critique.

Love how he uses culinary-esque terms so casually. Definitely deserved the win.

"I didn't even measure anything" spoken like a true Filipino..that's how you won, my dude 😂😂😂

[raqueluy]

the thing is, adobo totally depends on a household/person’s preference. this may sound odd but my family puts a bunch of other stuff in adobo, such as tofu, potatoes, mushrooms and carrots. definitely NOT traditional, but it’s a very heartwarming and filling twist on adobo that reminds me of home. (we kinda treat it as a stew haha) every household does adobo differently and that’s what makes it an amazing dish! :)

[cecet]

Can you bring their mothers to make their adobo? Would love to see their reactions over some of these where it was their first time making it.

[syifamaulanailhampangestu]

Omg they're very forgiving and I love how they appreciate every aspect in the food. I love those guys.

Peace from Indonesia

I covered my mouth when Sam called the sabow "gravy" lol. Also, I personally prefer pork adobo vs. chicken and tell me why I lowkey thought Sam used tofu when he showed it cooking in the pan lmao

[mellowyellowMnM]

It’s nice to see a video where the judges aren’t looking for a critique before they even taste.. let alone SEE the dish.

[carlod]

If I was there, I'll confuse them by making either "adobong puti", "adobong baka sa gata", "adobong tuyo", and "chicken and pork adobo" :D and yeah all of these are "traditional" ways of cooking adobo

"I didn't even measure anything" spoken like a true Pinoy

[savagekruger]

05:26 Chris is a legit Filipino, no matter where you were born and where you grew up, that's sum' legit Filipino cooking right there

[Connor-Prince]

You know Chris is a natural cook when he said "i don't really cook adobo that much" but still gets a good review and i wished i could try that, maybe share the recipe 😁

[naomirebekah]

Chris not measuring anything is the most philipino way to cook

[taehyunslefthand]

I love pork adobo, especially Humba which is like a bisaya type of pork adobo, which leans on to the sweet savory side (picked this also because I'm allergic to chicken, lmao).

[rouerumgv]

You can actually cook adobo with any kind of meat, cause it actually derived from preserving meat using salt an vinegar, and now it evolve into a really delicious filipino dish.
