Food Trip 2: Manang's Chicken

I have tried the specialty of Manang's Chicken several times, which if of course their own version of fried chicken. I first learned Manang's Chicken when a member of Pinoy Exchange told me that the chicken of Manang's is better than Bon Chon (which I also tasted a few months ago). And so, the rest, is definitely history.

Last week (9-22-2011), during my dinner break from work, I decided to buy at their store in Ortigas Center (it is located at AIC Gold Tower, Garnet Road cor. near F. Ortigas Jr. Road Ortigas Center Pasig City. Contact # 5848848). I bought a 1-piece chicken (which costs P75) and I took the mild sauce. Since I have my camera with me, I decided to take some pics of the chicken I bought.

They should consider paper bags instead of plastic bags.

In case you didn't know, the chicken is double deep-fried, dipped with a special sauce (you may choose the original one, mild spicy, or extra spicy) and sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Since they are located in Pasig, they should have consider their packaging like box cartons for the food instead of styrofoam, paper bags for take out instead of plastic, and plates, metal spoons and forks for dine-in at their branch. But hopefully they will comply with these, just like other fast foods around the Ortigas Center. 

 

I really love Manang's Chicken! Tasty, delicious, and crispy! I would also recommend their chicken wings as well. "Ang bagong fried chicken ng Pinoy!"

Food Trip 1: Jollibee Hash Brown Burger

As you know, some innovative and sometimes crazy ideas by these fast food restaurants are created nowadays, like KFC's Double Down (is it still available?) and Tower Burger (I will create a separate entry on this), and the latest by Jollibee, the Hash Brown Burger

I already saw this a few days ago, but I only tasted this only today. I was supposed to buy it while I'm at work, but since Jollibee near our area is under renovation, so I decided to buy it after work, just near my home.

Inside the box contains 2 pieces of baked hash browns that serve as buns (instead of the usual bread buns), beef patty, and cheese. As I tasted it, it tastes good and the hash brown is not that greasy, compared to the smaller hash brown of McDonalds. Actually a piece of the Hash Brown of Jollibee is as big as the Hash Brown of KFC's Tower Burger.

The Jollibee Hash Brown Burger costs P64 (for a ala carte) or P80 (with a drink)

I would say that the Jollibee Hash Brown Burger is 8/10 for me. =)
