KFC
KFC fried chicken and Pepsi, originally uploaded by: noshowerfamily
Finger Lickin’ Good. Original. Starting to kill me with their super-tiny size of chicken legs. Salty and a little expensive. I’d wish they serve their Coca-cola in a glass not plastic acrylic. I had to use a straw to sip (because it doesn’t look sterilized) and it floats away.

McCrispy, originally uploaded by: Raja Islam
Mc Crispy Chicken, which is basically a chicken fillet burger with some mayonnaise and some lettuce on top. Just ok for the tastebuds. The McDonald’s branches in Hong Kong have many different things that normal McDonald’s won’t have. Like every McDonald’s in the world, McDonald’s here has convenient locations and very good prices. And talking about “promotions”, there are lots.

Hainanese Chicken, originally uploaded by: wEnDaLicious
Steam Chicken with Soy Sauce. It’s very popular here. I actually quite like it. Tasty but voila, “I can still see blood”?. Yikes!

Jollibee Chicken Joy, originally uploaded by: KnOizKi
Jollibee Chicken Joy. Crunchy skin and nothing beats the gravy. It’s not so bad, just too dry for me.

Chicken Teriyaki with rice, originally uploaded by: chinagrrl
Yoshinoya’s Chicken Teriyaki + rice. Tender, golden-brown slices. Not so good, not so bad. At least they have a rice.

Chicken Adobo, originally uploaded by: paul goyette
Chicken Adobo. Pinoy’s proud. You think so? I kinda miss this food. Bests to cook it at home (by someone).

Well the Jollibee’s Chicken Joy was good especially when you haven’t ate in a long time, but now as much as I say this a lot, I’m getting tired of chicken. Does anyone have a couple of recipe to try at least?

Meeya, Hahaha give me some chicken feet and a chrysanthemum tea later. Well there’s this restaurant that cooks “chicken tips” (wings) in garlic with too sprinkled red pepper. Sobrang sarap! -

Cheh, anong sauce mo? I prefer my chicken as “fried” in margarine pero mas masarap yung deep fry sa “peanut oil”. May Jollibee dyan? -

Kenny Rogers may chicken na rin? I thought spare ribs lang andun? Alam mo mas masarap ang “nakaw-na-manok-na-kinatay” at pinaupo sa asin or nilagang manok na may dahon ng sili, tinola sa sarap, ever! Ma papa-ohhh at papa-ahhhh ka talaga.

Did you try na ba Ginataang Manok? EVER sa sarap din (don’t forget to put a little sili, mas takam). And it’s tastier kapag overnight at ini-nit mo ulet. Kamayin mo na din!

yummm..nakaka-gutom naman! i actually craved for mc chicken earlier when i saw your new entry, makabili nga bukas, hehe…i miss the mcdonalds sa pinas kc they have spaghetti in their menu (right?). here in US, they don’t. I miss it!

I cook a LOT of filipino dishes. Kare-kare & beef caldereta are some of my specialties! You wanna know my recipe? =)

btw, i don’t know that song but it sounds good! (what is the program you’re using?) =)

My voice sounded good? YEHEY, salamat….. oh you mean the music? Low maintenance ang recording ko, I use http://singsnap.com to record my singing. Try mo, you can be famous there too.

i have tried that steamed chicken before, and you are right, they don’t cook it all the way as you can still see some blood next to the bones. but, they are much much healthier than the fried ones. the meat is so juicy and tender.

Belle, the steam chicken (cantonese) is delicious. There’s a special sauce for that, not soysauce, the best way is too make this sauce, you do nothing more than mince ginger and combine it with chopped scallions (green onions), olive oil, and plenty of salt or combine them together into a blender. You can even keep this sauce for days. This is a powerful sauce, one that will markedly change the character of anything to which you add it. Silam!

You might grow feathers there, K, for having too much chicken, lol! What about chicken barbecue or chicken ala-king? Or chicken soup?

Have a great week!

Julie, good choice there, I actually like the Malaysian chicken satay, well I can eat the ones you buy at the street-hawker. We will not die naman siguro, diba? Ewan ko, mas masarap ang lasa nila kesa sa mga resto hehehe.

Dimaks, and mixed it with a little pork, ayos diba? I prefer Silver swan sa sauce at Datu Puti para lasang Pinoy talaga. Meron dyan sa Japan?

Sha, I’d like you to give me the risotto or paella recipe. I wanna try to cook that sometimes (ahem) but I think I’d prefer reading the menu, mas madali diba? Yes, a friend from Mac shop here said to me a while ago that I should wait for a little while before getting the Mac Air, he suggested that I’d compare prices between MacBook Pro or the iMac muna.

cool post. Now I’m hungry! We actually had Chicken Joy today. Thank goodness for Jollibee here! Hehe.

Btw, I have too agree with you. When I cook adobo, it has to be Silver Swan!

Rho,, a bit curious, merong Jollibee home delivery ba? I am actually thinking of Pizza right now. Diba Silver Swan ang pampalasa talaga? It’s like if you’re serving J a chicken soup, put knorr cubes para lasang Pinoy.

hindi ko alam kung merong home delivery dito, but I just go there. No doubt, it would be nice if they did. And yes, I put knorr cubes in my tinola! hehehe! there’s nothing like lasang Pinoy, di ba?
