Chick boy ang CHIC-BOY!!

Last Thursday together with fellow bloggers - we met the newest chicken-baboy in town!


Chic-Boy!!

Located along the busy street of Jupiter in Makati - it boasts of a new twist in the lechon manok, lechon liempo industry; it being - 'Cebu'.

Now, everyone who hears the word Cebu said before the words - lechon manok or liempo would immediately salivate at the thought.  Everyone knows how yummy Cebu lechons are!  I am one who believes (like Anthony Bourdain!) that the Cebu lechon is the best pig ever!

Since Cebu is miles and miles away from us here in Manila, what is the next best thing?  Honestly - my next best thing would still be ordering the original and having it shipped via plane.

Enter - CHIC-BOY!!!!!!



Let me be honest, I was never a fan of lechon manok simply because I found it too dry and it lacked taste for me.  But when I munched on Chic-Boy's Cebu lechon manok - I was amazed on how juicy the chicken was!  I mean for an 'inihaw' na manok, for it to be juicy - wow, that must be something right?  And the taste?  It was delicious!  Even my Panget was amazed and declared that it was really really good!



Do you know what amazed us more?  The price!!  I mean for P99.00 for a combo meal with rice all you want, it was such a great deal!  There's a Hokkien saying 'Siok, wu kiok' translated in English means that there is 'value for money'- it was really value for money.


They have the creamiest Leche Flan that I have ever tasted!  Take note, they're a fast food place ah!  And their turon with condensed milk - why didn't I think of that?

My dinner experience here was superb!  Loved the company (B'ley, Fritz, Spanky, Fran & Paul, Jane & Bubba, Jon, Kristine & Robin, Iya, Joko, AJ & Matthew, and Cat!) and most especially looooooooved the food!

Wait, there's more - I've not yet mentioned the best thing about Chic-Boy....

Its open 24 hours baby!!

Yes, you read that right!  24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Now, ain't that super??

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

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
