Didn't use fresh garlic, but I substituted Adobo and added some fresh onions. It was delicious.

This is exactly what my uncle makes and it's one of my favorite marinades. Sat in room temperature for an hour and grilled on large skillet. Will definitely make this again on the BBQ. Served with white rice and fried egg. Next time, will probably make with fried saffron. Used maggi on rice and eggs. Thank you for posting!!
