Lunch at Adobo! and my New Pet (Marimo) from 112 Katong!!

Adobo is the name of a popular dish and cooking process in Philippine cuisine that involves meat or seafood marinated in a sauce of vinegar and garlic, browned in oil, and simmered in the marinade.

We were here at Ali Baba Eating House as I would like to try their cripsy roasted pork again.  However, I was slightly disappointed when they were still preparing this dish and wouldn't be ready so soon.  Hubby asked for their recommendation and ordered the Filipino Sausages.
I had stewed pork instead.  The sambal really can kill!  I only dipped a bit to the meat and my whole tongue went numb immediately.  No joke!  The meat itself was quite sweet in taste.
Lumpia Shanghai (Fried Eggrolls) - $0.50 each
Total cost for our lunch here was only $9.  Pocket-friendly!
After lunch, we proceeded to 112 Katong, the newly opened mall which is just across the road.

Bought something from the mall.... MARIMO!!!!  I got super excited when I saw them for sale in Singapore.  I thought I could only get them in Japan.  Hubby must be wondering how these 2 little furry balls could get me so darn excited.  Haha....
Cute right?

Mary's Corner Tau Kwa Pau & Adobo! Filipino Food @ East Coast Road

Read about a new French Stall "Saveur" that sell yummy and affordable foie gras at a coffeeshop in Katong area.  However, when we reached the coffeeshop, we were disappointed that the stall was not open as the owners have a wedding event to attend.  As such, I ordered the famous Tau Kwa Pau from Mary's Corner (which I had never tried before) and hubby tried roast pork rice from the Filipino stall in the same coffeeshop.  Fortunately, the food from both stalls did not disappoint us.
 What you see here the the fillings for the Tau Kwa which include 3 different types of fishcakes, cucumber, hard-boiled egg and deep-fried yam crumbs. 



 Adobo!

 I tried a piece of roasted pork from hubby's plate.  The meat was tender with a crispy skin like german pork knuckles!  Yummy!  It cost only $4.50.
