Home-Inspired Pork Belly Adobo

When a restaurant produces over 1000 meals a day, the kitchen has to run like a well-oiled machine and at Laffos, it does.  

Hailing from the Philippines, Laffos' head Chef, Michael Palamores, and his team operate a highly efficient kitchen, turning over huge volumes of stock and meals daily.    

From purchasing and rostering through to equipment maintenance, Michael’s dedication to excellence is a rare commodity.  

However, the kitchen staff at Laffos true passion is what they put on their customer's plates. It must be fast, and it has to be fresh.  

They thrive on the challenge.  

So, when Michael approached Mark (Laffo) about putting his own dish on the predominately pizza and modern Australian menu at Laffo’s, Mark was thrilled to accommodate him.  

Michael’s pork belly adobo was added to the menu last month and the dish has certainly been a crowd favourite.  

A traditional Filipino favourite, Pork Belly Adobo holds a special place in Michael's heart, evoking memories of family gatherings and shared meals. With a modern twist, Michael has elevated this beloved dish to new heights, presenting diners with succulent pork belly bathed in a rich and flavourful adobo sticky sauce that is simply irresistible.

Since its introduction to the menu last month, Pork Belly Adobo has become a crowd favourite, garnering rave reviews and leaving patrons craving more. Served alongside steaming rice and crisp greens, this dish embodies the perfect harmony of flavours and textures, a true testament to Michael's culinary prowess and dedication to his craft.

As the community continues to flock to Laffos for fast service and fresh meals, Michael stands proudly behind his new addition to the menu, a testament to the enduring power of home cooking and the artistry of a talented chef.
