Chick boy ang CHIC-BOY!!

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


Chic-Boy!!
Image grabbed from Chic-Boy's FB page


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??

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 ...

#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 t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
