This is another variant of longganisa which is popular in Imus Cavite called adobo longganisa. If adobo is one of your favorite dishes, then I think this is a kind of longganisa that you will love to eat also. This is similar to Vigan or Lucban longganisa because it is garlicky and salty and not sweet as the common longganisa. But its up to you if you want to put a little sugar on this longganisa because some pork adobo has some sugar in it. That is also how I cook my adobo with a little sweet taste.
