To the non-Filipino readers, Manok is the tagalog term we use for chicken. This dish is called Adobadong Manok, a dish that is cooked in a coconut milk with Papaya or Chayote squash, lemon grass, onion, garlic, and seasoning. We usually smoked a newly scraped coconut meat before we squeezed out the milk but since I only used the coconut milk in can here, I did not do that process. There are so many Filipino dishes that I am missing but since I can't get the exact products I need here, I the closest thing that is available just to satisfy my cravings. It is also a great way to introduce new dishes to my kids and husband.

where do you live? you should be able to travel to a large city and get most of what you need for your tastes of home - it looks great, by the way!
What can I say? Mmmmm...delicious!
I am not a fan of lemon grass, but I do like chicken. :)
I know Manok from the Congo kitchen, but it's long ago that I have eaten it !

I knew what manok was be clicking here! My Grandmother and Grandfather on my dad's side were from Cebu.
My dad makes a chicken stew with ginger, green papaya and canned tomatoes. It is what I crave aside from pansit!
Looks delicious!
