My trip to Calaca will never be complete without eating or taking home Atchara, can be Atsara or Achara. Calaca is known to have the finest Atchara. It is home for the Calacatchara Festival which Calaqueños celebrate every October.
“Atchara (also spelled achara or atsara), is a pickle made from grated unripe papaya popular in the Philippines. This dish is often served as a side dish for fried or grilled foods such as pork barbecue. The name may come from several names for South Asian pickle and is related to acar from neighboring Indonesia and Malaysia.” –Wikipedia
Conching’s Special Atchara
There are different types of Atchara in the Philippines but nothing beats, for me, the variant made in Calaca. It tastes a bit sour and sweet. The shredded Papaya is crunchy, and the color made it extra inviting to eat. This is a perfect side dish for any grilled or fried viand, but I partner this with any ulam. I even ask my siblings to send me one when I moved to the North.
I will not go into details anymore as to how it is being made as I do not know the exact measurement of ingredients used and the process. But the main ingredients are green papaya with carrots, ginger, onions, and red bell pepper. Maybe, just maybe, when I have time in the future, I’ll try to make the exact version and I’ll share it with you. 🙂

Chicken Adobo is considered a national dish in the Philippines (unofficial) and every town or province has its own way of cooking it. Some cook theirs with onion, some don’t. Others cook it without soy sauce (yes, there’s someone I know) and a lot more unique recipes that you can find on the web.
There are also several types of Adobo — chicken, pork, beef, liver, vegetable, etc. As I’ve tasted several recipes already, there are times that I’ll be disappointed if I didn’t get the taste that I am looking for. Having a mom who cooks tasty and delicious dishes, I cannot help but compare other recipes to my mom’s cooking.
I, too, have my own version. I am not entirely sure if this is the correct way to cook it but this works for me and my son, who is a picky eater. He likes it so much that he can eat it every day. How do I cook it? Read on.
This photo doesn’t give justice to its taste. haha
Ingredients (no exact measurements, ‘tantya, tantya’ lang):
Fry the chicken until brown (not too much, just make sure that all sides are cooked properly).
Remove the chicken from the wok, and saute the onion first until slightly brown, then garlic.
Add the soy sauce.
Let the mix boil first then add the chicken.
Once the chicken is drenched with soy sauce, add the vinegar. I always put half the amount of soy sauce. When I put 1 cup of soy sauce, I’ll add 1/2 cup of vinegar.
Add the peppercorn and sugar.
Let it boil until the chicken absorbs the mixture and the sauce thickens.
And that’s it! I have my own perfect Adobo, perfect for my family’s taste only. 🙂 I have not tried this exact recipe for others, but I hope you’ll like it too.
How about you, how do you cook your Chicken Adobo? Or, if you’ve tried this exact recipe, did you like it? Let me know in the comments section. 🙂
Thank you for reading! If you wish to see more of the recipes I’ve tried, please visit my Facebook Page – Homebound Mom. 🙂
I am a tired mom, but happy! Nakakapagod mag-alaga lalo pa at dalawa lang tayo madalas sa bahay, palaging puyat, hindi pumipirmi na malinis ang bahay, hindi makapagtrabaho si mom kasi ang clingy mo – gusto mo palagi ako kalaro at katabi matulog, hindi tayo makagala na tayo lang kasi hindi kita kaya buhatin mag-isa pag napagod ka na maglakad (laki at likot mo po kasi), ang dami mo na din ‘watdat mom?’, di ko na masagot minsan kasi paulit ulit e.
Pero makita ko lang yung smile mo na yan at happy ka, aba anak, nawawala na pagod ni mom. Hindi literal na nawala ha, syempre pagod pa din ako. 😂 Nakakalimutan ko lang na pagod ako kasi happy ka eh. Sana palagi ganyan smile mo. 😘😘😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Isa pa lang to, paano na yung mga mommies na more than 1 ang anak at wala din kasama sa bahay? Galing ninyo mga momsh, saludo ako sa inyo! Kakayanin ko din to! 😘😘
