What's New at Manang's Chicken?

Something garlicky; something new...

Manang's Chicken store

I love Manang's Chicken, with its crisp, sweet soy skin, and saporous meat. It has been a while since I visited, so I was a bit curious about their new offerings, and a lot at that.

Manang's Chicken potato chips

The Chips were aplenty; each crackled under my teeth, its crisp exterior exploded with real potato flavor. It also wasn't that oily even if fried. The sporadic sprinkle of salt gave it a nice salinity. There were three available dips -- Ketchup, Garlic Mayo and Creamy Cheese. I decided to skip the usual ketchup and went for the other two, which were both good.

Manang's Chicken Garlic Pork Rice Meal

I ordered the Garlic Pork Rice Meal (P109), albeit I was a bit hesitant at first, seeing the plethora of garlic bits that covered the entire meat. Surprisingly, they didn't give off a strong garlicky flavor that would've made me run toward the opposite direction. The portion was even big enough and midway through, I was already feeling full. The porcine meat was a bit dry, though this could have been due to the fact that I've consumed the meal at home, so it wasn't really freshly cooked anymore. There was a soy vinegar (?) dip that went with it as well.

Manang's Chicken side dishes

When I usually eat viands without sauce, I prefer some sidings to go with it. Here, you can choose from three fresh sides -- Macaroni Salad, Coleslaw, and Buttered Corn. I tried the first two and both were decent enough.

I would have wanted to try their Red Velvet Sundae, it was actually the one I was most excited about. Unfortunately, their mall outlets don't carry sundaes, and if I'm not mistaken, I think it's only available for the month of February. Oh well!

UPDATE: The Red Velvet Sundae is available until March 31, 2013 in all of their branches except Glorietta Food Choices.

You should try the Red Velvet soon, Guia! It's their best dessert, so far. :)

Hi Michy! I can't seem to find a non-mall outlet that's near me. Hope I can chance upon one soon. :)
