Manang's Chicken: Not so sossy name but the chicken is saucy so good!

People sometimes judge a restaurant based on their name...hearing Manang's Chicken would give that impression that it is a low-class, karendirya-type eatery but it has its own small air-conditioned restaurant in Ortigas.
I saw a voucher somewhere giving discounts in Manang's Chicken but I did not buy it because it isn't that famous yet which I later on regret. I was curious about it and read reviews...almost everyone who have been there said it was so good...one even said that Bon Chon Chicken should move over...so I decided to drag my colleague to eat with me there during our lunch break.

I was glad that we got there early because the place can get packed during lunch time.We were the first waiting customer but we didn't really wait that long...

The food is very affordable! We ordered the 6-piece chicken wings worth P144 and 2 servings of rice worth P15 each. For the side dish, we ordered the macaroni salad which is worth P29.

The first bite of that chicken wings with soy garlic sauce (that is both sweet and spicy) sprinkled with sesame seeds made me smile and say the magic word..mmmm...sarap! My friend agreed with me and continued to munch on the chicken wings. The skin of the chicken wings are really crunchy and cooked just the way I like it.

The macaroni salad is a good break from the rich taste of the chicken but I think they should add chicken, carrots and celery just what my mom does..but hey, this is fast food so the price is just right to get that kind of macaroni salad.

Manang's Chicken also delivers, but then again it won't taste that great once they get to you because the chicken skin would end up being soggy just like ordering fries from McDonalds.

They don't have a wide list of menu, but I would definitely like to try the bagnet next time because I am partly Ilocano and that's our specialty. But then again...once I get to see that chicken right in front of me...I might not be able to resist myself from ordering it...LOL.

Here is the list of menu for those who want to try out Manang's Chicken: http://www.munchpunch.com/10306/manangs-chicken-pasig/menu

P.S. Don't judge a restaurant by its name. Manang's Chicken is more sossy to me when it comes to the taste than other leading chicken restaurants.

Guess what? I saw my blog posted on Manang's Chicken Wall

It made me feel like I won an award! hahaha

Eastwood New Year Staycation

Sorry that I have not been updating my blog post (as if someone reads it LOL). It's been almost three years I think since I last wrote here that's why I made it my New Year's resolution to fix up my blog and write more often. Don't be surprised if you see stories about my adventures for the past few years since I will be doing a lot of catching up. Let me begin with my Eastwood New Year Staycation. Why Celebrate New Year in Eastwood? I chose Eastwood City because it is closer to my place making it more accessible and there's a free New Year Countdown concert. I was considering Mall of Asia since they also have a free concert, but I already felt tired just thinking of my travel time and traffic. I originally booked a hotel near Ayala, Makati thinking that they still have a street party. After doing some research, I think they already stopped doing it for a few years now so Eastwood it is! Where to stay in Eastwood Eastwood Richmond Hotel is the most ideal p

MyHealth Clinic Takes Care of My Health

Getting sick is a real pain in the *** but to wait for a long queue in discomfort and end up with a list of expensive medicines to buy would definitely make anyone feel more sick! I was glad I have a health card from work so that lessens my worry about the check up and laboratory expenses. I usually go to Medical City Clinic in Trinoma and Waltermart for the check-up but my experience there was not really that good especially in Waltermart, Munoz. The nurses there and attendants seem so laid back (which is a better term for being lazy) and busy chatting with each other. I waited for a long time (around 30 min.) just to have my Maxicare approved and after that I went to the nurse's station to give my papers but the girl was busy on her phone so the guy beside her placed my paper on her table and told me to wait for my name to be called. So I waited for my name to be called and it was almost an hour. I was really wondering why it would take that long just to have my blood extracted

Get A Taste of Hong Kong at Eat Fresh Restaurant

Holy Week is all about fasting, but it is really hard to do that when the food in front of you is tempting. Every Holy Thursday, it has been a family tradition to go on a Visita Iglesia. For those who don't know what that is, it is a religious practice of visiting at least seven churches and praying the Stations of the Cross. When we were younger, we used to visit like 14 churches and that's quite tiring. Today, it is faster with seven churches and more people are out of town taking advantage of the long weekend. After Visita Iglesia, with sadly a few family members getting sick because of heat and exhaustion, the rest decided to go to Eat Fresh Famous Hong Kong Street Food for late dinner. It was located along J.Abad Santos Street in San Juan near Xavier School and Wilson. From the outside, you wouldn't think that it is a restaurant because people choose the Hong Kong street food on stick displayed in front. I thought you would have to wait until they grill the f
