Pork Chop Adobo with Potatoes and Coconut Milk

a·do·bo  (ä-db)

n. pl. a·do·bos

A Philippine dish of marinated meat or fish seasoned with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and spices. [Spanish, from Old Spanish adobar, to stew, from Old French adouber, to dub, arm, prepare, of Germanic origin.] from thefreedictionary.com

I used to eat an Ilonggo Style of this dish.  But at this time, I made it with the combination of potatoes and coconut milk, my first attempt to cook it. So far, so good.  Just like the rest of my otheeeer dishes, it turned out the way I like it and as delicious as I expect it to be.  Esposo was happy with his brunch in bed and I am so glad.
