When friends share to me good restaurant finds because they knew I need a break from cookingg daily, I felt loved!
I cook every single day (sometimes twice a day) because I take care not only the food for our household but also our neighbor! (My parents-in-law!) That said, it gets draining to think about the menu on a daily basis but I thank God on breaks like Sundays so I can easily order out and get inspired by the dishes I eat.
I recently tried Carol’s Chicken and Lechon Belly and it was a lovely surprise to find a gem at Masangkay! The place where I usually order our weekend dishes.
Paella
Bilao: Php750.00
Tray: Php1,350.00
This seafood mix Paella isn’t the version of those you eat at Spanish restaurants as this has a twist that goes well with the palate of Filipino Chinese! On first bite, I had a bit of a “Kiampong” feel with the texture of rice and the right stickiness! What made me enjoy this so much is how I can east this alone without the need for “ulam”. You get a good serving of shrimps, clams, squid, fish, eggs, etc…!
I am very very picky with Roasted Chicken. There are so many roasted chicken available out there that promises the good flavor but always fail in texture and juiciness.
Carol’s Chicken passed my standard + MORE! The sauce they created that comes with the chicken is a winner in my dicitionary! I love the sauce so much I did not throw the rest away and used it on my other dishes! Ang sarap! You have to try to believe! And thankfully, even with the breast part, the chicken remain juicy and plump! I love the extra sauce that comes in a packet so you can easily pour it all over before serving on a plate and keep the chicken moist.
