Peri Peri Charcoal Chicken

Last Sunday, my family decided to go to Megamall... and since we are from the South, this huge mall is really unfamiliar territory for us...

Anyway, we decided to look for a restaurant which looks cheap but interesting... and fortunately, we came across Peri Peri Charcoal Chicken. “Home of the World Famous Portuguese Style grilled Chicken”

"Piri-piri, peri-peri or peli-peli is the name used in Portuguese and a number of African languages to describe the African bird's-eye chilli, a member of the capsicum plant genus. This is a small and extremely spicy variety. The variations in spelling derive from the various pronunciations of the word in parts of Africa, although "piri-piri" is the correct spelling in Portuguese. " (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri_peri)

So just looking at the definition, you can already assume that peri peri chicken would have an exotic taste. Hmmm… interesting right?

Also as we get closer, we saw that the restaurant has a promo – Soup and Beverage All you want for only P49.00…

Of course, we decided to go and try it ourselves..

The place is quite small and we were actually waitlisted… Though it just took less than 5 minutes until we were given a table.

The restaurant has a bright and cheerful atmosphere which maybe because of the yellow bright lanterns above each table.

Since we are a small group of 5, we decided to order 1 whole peri-peri chicken and 2 large servings of rice… ( 1 plain and 1 java rice). We also availed of the promo P49.00 each since we saw that a regular drink already costs P40.

After our order was taken, we immediately went to the long table to get our ‘round 1’ soup and drink. There are only 2 kinds of soup – Cream of Mushroom and Broccoli Cream Soup. The mushroom soup tastes like the typical mushroom soup though it didn’t have much bits of mushroom. But since it is unlimited, I went for a second serving. On the other hand, they had a wide variety of drinks – you can choose from  --  normal soda, iced tea, four seasons, coffee, hot tea etc.

Soup and drinks are okay or just right… especially considering the cheap price of P49.00.

Then the 1 whole chicken came along with the 2 platters of rice. The presentation of the chicken is normal and ordinary… However, the flavor makes up for it.  It’s like our local Chicken Inasal with a twist. You can taste some herbs and other flavors on it. It’s supposedly more healthy because the excess fat has been trimmed before being charcoal grilled.  

Bottomline, we were satisfied and left the restaurant super full!

I just hope they decide to have branches in Makati, Paranaque and Muntinlupa soon.

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each side or unt

Wee Nam Kee -- a taste of Singaporean Cuisine

Image
My brother in-law would like his dad to have a taste of authentic Singaporean food… and of course the first thing that comes to our mind when we talk about Singaporean Food is no other than “Hainanese Chicken Rice”… Though Hainanese Chicken Rice originated from Hainan, China, it has now also found its home in Singapore as their national dish due to immigration. It is also known as Singaporean Chicken Rice it is served either steamed or roasted. Fortunately, we now have Wee Nam Kee restaurant here in the Philippines. They actually opened late last year and I have read several blogs about it. Wee Nam Kee has made its name originally in Singapore as a top contender for serving the best Hainanese chicken rice alongside Boon Tong Kee and Tian Tian. As I have read in one of the blogs, all their ingredients are sourced locally.  Their secret is that the chickens are freshly delivered everyday from 3 small farm suppliers that alternate delivery. They are chilled -- not frozen. Now

Not so typical valentines speech

Image
This is one of the toastmaster speech I delivered a few days before Valentine's day last year. ========== Good afternoon.   February 14 is a red-letter day for many people. This is the day most people look forward to, especially for the lovers.   But for me, this is just an ordinary day, nothing special,   for I   do not believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day. In fact,   I feel awkward to stand in front of you   to deliver a valentine’s speech.   Yes, you guess it right – I am the   scrooge of Valentines.   But before you raise your eyebrows and give me a piercing look, allow me to state my reasons … First, for me, the origins of Valentines day is not clear. The holiday appears to be   named after two      early Christian martyrs named Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Valentine of Rome [9] was a priest in Rome while Valentine of Terni became bishop of Interamna   and both were martyred and buried on the Via Flaminia . In the 1969 revision of the Roman Catholic Calenda
