Adobong Palaka. (Simmered Frog Legs) The Farm frog is favoured for its edible legs that taste like chicken and are nibbled right of the bone. The green/brown croaker can be done “Adobe” style, stewed in vinegar and soy sauce, with peppercorns and bay leaf, deep fried (“Sinampalukan”), roasted, stewed and made into “Rellenong Palaka”; the jumping amphibian is then stuffed with ground meat.
