| - I went back and tried their adobo. After all the restaurant's name is Adobo Experience.
My husband had the Adobo Haven (adobo with coconut milk) and I had their Crispy Adobo (deep fried pork belly). What can I say about their crispy adobo? The meat wasn't dredged in oil, seasoned very well and fried to perfection! The dish wasn't overly sauced, which kept the crispy texture of the meat. I wish I could give a review of the adobo haven, but my husband finished off the dish. Which would indicate that the quite liked it.
Though I must admit that I was a bit sad at the end of our meal. Since they ran out of taho. If you've never had taho it is basically made up of soft/silken tofu, vanilla simple syrup (brown sugar, water and vanilla extract), and tapioca pearls. If you ever have the chance to go by Adobo Experience, try their taho. I think, they're the only Filipino restaurant in Calgary that serves it.
I may have left sad, but my tummy was quite happy with that crispy adobo.
Tip: If you ever feel like trying out their boodle fight (a feast good for 6-8 people) call ahead of time. We saw customers go in last night asking for a boodle fight. I heard it takes about 45 minutes to set up and most customers call in ahead of time for their boodle fight meal.
Boodle fight is a military style of eating where long tables are prepared and food are on top of the banana leaves. Viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands, jugs of water are prepared on the side to wash hands before the "eating combat". With the signal to start the boodle fight, everyone aims for his/her position. -Urban Dictionary
