THE CHICKEN RICE SHOP at CCP

we were just hungry after seeing a very beautiful concert by the Philippine Madrigal Singers at CCP (which is a must-see by the way). so we headed at the Harbour Square just across the complex and searched for something to eat. in an array of food choices, all we can see are chicken restaurants ready to peck out the hunger feeling in our stomach. from KFC to Mang Inasal, we ended up in The Chicken Rice Shop which is relatively new to us.

coming inside is very comfortable with its fast-food style ambiance and the friendly staff welcomed us dearly. it's read and yellow motif will definitely make you remember some other food chain, but not as close.

when it's time to order, we looked at the menu and found out that it's somehow pricey. ambiance didn't look that it is expensive. anyhow, we ordered Hainanese and roasted chicken meals. that is a combo with rice and soup. beverages will be ordered separately. but don't worry, waiting time isn't that too long if you have many people with you and there's a little crowd in the restaurant.

you may also notice their kitchen area is somehow visible from the dining area. guaranteed clean environment and production of the food you'll eat.

upon receiving the plates with our food in, a special presentation of Hainanese and roasted chicken garnished with thin cucumber slices were mouth-watering. even more when the rice came, smelling so good and tastes so right. but still, i think it's too pricey for such small serving of roasted chicken leg and Hainanese chicken thigh.

well i think getting more chicken shops in the metro will make a healthier competition. let's wait and see if their prices will go high or low with more similar businesses.

Prices:
Chicken Meals (Hainanese / Roasted) - Php 128
Iced Tea (Single serve / Bottomless) - Php 50 / 80

*VAT and service charge not included.

we saved a little because mom brought her senior citizen ID.

Easter Food

happy Easter everyone! every year, mama and me go to church early morning to hear the Easter Mass. then, after seeing all the processions from different parishes, we go to the market to eat our breakfast. not just the ordinary breakfast and craving for meat after all the meat abstinence, but we go to enjoy our local food.

this morning we had our own version of food trip. we had Pansit Luglog and Pansit Palabok for each of us. then we turned about the nearby store to eat halo-halo and lumpia wrap. we are already full for a very cheap amount of Php 15 for each pansit and Php 25 for the Halo-halo and Lumpia wrap.

then we stopped at the stalls to buy local rice delicacies for our snacks that day.

buying local foods is our thing during Easter and we really enjoy doing it. again, happy EATS-ter everyone.

hands down at Tempura Japanese Grill

it was my return at Tempura Japanese Grill. i can't say anything more but i really love their sushi. especially when wasabe stings to my nose. hahaha!

and other than that, i tried the Seafood Ramen and their own version of halo-halo which i forgot how they call it.
