It’s been some time since I’ve found time to write a post worthy of your time. A friend of mine sent this to me today, and I was rolling on the floor laughing. This video shows a caucasian male teaching you how to cook Chicken Adobo. To say that his pronunciation is a tad off is a bit of an understatement, but I do give him props for trying. His recipe for cooking adobe isn’t bad at all. I think I’ll give it a shot, without using the accent.

Dude, he gets 10 points for the shit-eating grin that he has throughout the ENTIRE video. It’s almost like he had to make this video out of losing a bet.
Update: Oh, wait. Looks like he’s an American Actor/Model who ended up in the Phillipines: “Travis adoptive mother is a Filipina from Bataan. It was she who encouraged Travis to come and visit the Philippines. In 2003, he traveled to Thailand, Korea, Japan and the Philippines. It was his first visit to the country but he found the Philippines the best country “because people are super friendly and everyone is cute.”"

Hmm that differs from the way I learned how to make chicken adobo. But I’ll have to try that.
Not that I understood a word he said.

OMG… Makes me want to recruit a non-asian friend of mine to make some “ethnic” foods.
But I’m sure I’m as hilarious (but with a more authentic accent) when I cook in spanish…

OMG i was laughing so hard when i started listening to him….. and my family thought my tagalog had an accent (in my defense, i grew up here, where i never really needed to speak but i can understand). the recipe is good though, you should crush the bay leaves for more flavor. i wonder if he was reading it or if he actually knew tagalog well enough to say it by himself… though somehow i doubt it, if so he should have a better accent. lol.
english translation!!!
hi, I’m Travis Craft. (i think thats how you spell it) Welcome to my kitchen. Today we are going to cook chicken adobo. First you need four pieces of chicken, garlic and onions, bay leaves, oil, vinegar, soy sauce and pepper.
First heat the pot then cut the garlic into small pieces (or crush it). Then cut the onions. Put oil into the pot and add the garlic, cook till golden brown then add the onion. (stir) Add the chicken. put in the bay leaves. Then add the soy sauce and vinegar, stir and cover. Allow to boil for 10-15 minutes until the chicken absorbs the flavor. Turn off the stove and add pepper. The chicken Adobo is finished! Its so tasty!
Note: on very few of this translation i guessed because he started speaking to softly to hear. Hope it helps!!
