Big Mama's

I am such a big fan of fried chicken! Why? Well, since I don't eat pork and beef - this is only one of the 2 things on the menu for me! :) Hahaha...

My ultimate favorite chickens are as follows:
1. Chicken Joy - Jollibee
I so love the crispyliciousness and juicy-liciousness! Langhap saraaaaaaaap!

2. Original Recipe Chicken - KFC
My favorite would be the skin! It's really finger-lickin good!

3. Country chicken's
I love the sauce! It's what makes the chicken yummy! The sauce! What can be the formulation?

4. S&R's Roasted Chicken
Anyone who's tried this will agree with me!

5. Savory's Chicken
I just got introduced to this recently. My parents are huge fans of Savory - they retell us their Savroy stories (everytime!)

6. Andok's, Mang Bok's and Sr. Pedro's (they're NOT exactly my favorites, they're one of those options. Hihi..)
They're filling and flavorful. Just as long as you get the newly cooked ones! Hahahaha... :)

Just last Friday - my friend May May and Brian introduced us to another chicken:

Big Mama's Fried Chicken!

the take-out box..

They said it was the best they've ever had. Brian even said it was better than KFC's. Well, that got my Panget and I curious. My Panget hates chicken - mainly because their cook serves it for every meal - every day (the cook said it was per My Panget's dad's instructions) So when May May learned that my Panget hates chicken - she invited us over for a fried chicken dinner!!

yummy yummy chicken!!

So the verdict? Well, it was really really good! Can you imagine 8 people devouring 3 whole chicken in a span of....... 1.5 hours? Yup! We kept on munching and munching! I think they have a different marinade. But whatever it is, it's sooooooooo good! We couldn't get enough thus, we ordered for more! It's also finger lick'in good (especially when they're HOT!) May May was so happy that my Panget loved the chicken! (Because he kept on saying - I hate chicken! Hahaha!!) And last night - I ordered some for my college buddies to try - and they all LOVED it to bits too!

a closer look!

Big Mama is a Korean owned Korean restaurant that's located at the Renaissance Plaza compound in Ortigas Center. Their fried chicken sells for Php500.00 for a whole chicken (2 sauces come with it and a plastic bottle of coke!) and Php250.00 for half a chicken. They also offer other dishes (but I didn't bother with it anymore!) The Chapchae was so-so (The best I've tasted were from Ye Dang)

    Hahaha funny but my Mom said the same thing about me when I was growing up. Tutubuan na daw ako ng pakpak and none of them will even wonder why.

    Didi, you've never tried Sincerity chicken? OMG, that tops my list! But the frustrating part is...they're in Binondo, only in Binondo. It's super sarap and I've been missing it like anything!

    Big Mama's chicken looks like Sincerity. I should take some home soon.

    Hi Candishhh. Could you tell me where YeDang is located? I have been on the look-out for an excellent Korean resto in QC. Hope you could recommend. We often dine at Silla in T. Morato and Kaya in Jupiter. Thanks in advance!

    Hello Daisy! There's no good Korean reso in QC (in my opinion). Try Ye Dang! It's along Meralco Avenue, you'll see Koreanovela Posters outside it! Hehehe..

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
