Manang's Chicken weekend !

One last hurrah of the kids before going back to school tomorrow.  They requested to eat at Manang's chicken.  When asked why -"we want to try it", they said.  Hhmm, or did they just want to get out of the house where they got stuck because of the rainy weather?  Anyhow, we did go to have dinner there tonight.

The first time I saw Manang's Chicken was in Mercato Centrale in Taguig.  People were lining up to try their soy garlic chicken.  Soy and garlic are two of my favorite sauces and spice so I was really getting the best of both. Their chicken came with a choice of original, mild spicy or very spicy.  We opted for the original and the mild and it did not disappoint us.

The chicken is not devoid of the sauce. In fact, my kids took the sauce for the rice ")
The taste is sweet, salty, spicy and garlicky.  It's a combination that plays in your mouth.  In fact, you don't know which one will linger longer.

Above is how I saw them at Mercato Centrale.


They now have a wide variety of menu item such as spaghetti, pancit, liempo, fish , aside from the famous chicken


This is the 6 piece wing in mild spicy sauce and rice.  The soy darkens the chicken.  The white dots that you see are sesame seeds.


This is 6 pcs Chicken Barkada cut.  As always, we opted for leg and thigh.

We also tried this dessert called Velvet.  Bottom layer is a chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream which is topped with hot fudge and choco bites.  But I did not enjoy it as much as I would've enjoyed a simple hot fudge sundae.  I don't like cake in ice creams.

Would I come back ? Yes ! to savor my favorite soy garlic.

Enjoy !
