Charlie’s Grind and Grill: Where I Go For Chicken Wings
Charlie’s Grind and Grill is one of the most well-loved food places in Pasig. Sometime in 2010, they opened a branch in Ortigas Ave, San Juan. This branch is for those who don’t want to dine in a car wash/garage. This branch is located at the Ronac Art building along Ortigas Ave, North Greenhills (image borrowed from www.solemovement.com). This is a good alternative for those who live in the area and love to dine at Charlie’s Grind and Grill.

KC Chicken: Koreatown’s Chicken Place
This piece of chicken looks very ordinary. It comes from a restaurant called KC Chicken located at 12 Cirilo St. Isidora Hills, Brgy Holy Spirit, Quezon City. However, you must know by now that looks can be deceiving.
Two large piece of this fried chicken costs P70, each at P35 regardless of whether it’s white or dark meat. I always go for the leg-thigh combination. I think that at it’s price, this chicken is a steal.
What’s so special about it? This fried chicken is the best Korean fried chicken I have ever tried. It looks so ordinary. Much like the cheap fried chicken you see along the streets. But KC Chicken is different. It is the LECHON CEBU of fried chicken. No sauce is needed because the flavors are so locked into the chicken during the cooking process. I don’t know how they do it, and I’m not really interested.
All I know is that when you buy from them, they fry the chicken one more time and they serve it sizzling hot. No sauce. Just chicken and rice. And oh my goodness, I was so delighted when I first tasted it. The flavors will seep into your palate right away and the inside meat is so juicy like it was fried just that very moment you ordered it. Compared to Bonchon or Chicken Charlie, I’d say they now have serious competition. Only difference is the location. Bonchon and Chicken Charlie are large franchisers and have so many outlets in the Metro. The Korean guy who owns this place, just wants to fry chicken and enjoy watching football on cable TV. If you’re into no-frills fun, this is the place to be. Come here during FIFA season and you will be among friends. Fear not, the food will not burn through your pockets. At P35 apiece (US$ 0.81) I don’t think you will spend so much money for the really tasty, oh-my-god chicken.
They have other things in the menu, like noodles and stuff. Try asking for what’s not on the menu and be delightfully surprised!

Luz Kinilaw Place: Davao’s Best Ihawan
In anticipation of the travels that I am planning to do this year, I stumbled on some old pictures of my trips. One particularly interesting trip was the Davao Food Tour in 09. It was fun and I really want to go back. However, I realized there were other provinces to visit and I can’t keep going to just the same place. I need to have some variety, thus in the coming months you will see posts of my travels.
Visiting provinces in the Philippines is always a good experience. Believe me, this is not marketing speak. In my experience, and I am very picky during my travels, I have not been to a provincial city I didn’t like. Foreigners and Filipinos alike must realize that there is a lot of color and dazzle to life outside Manila. Multinationals are beginning to look at Davao and Cebu to bring to do business. Cost of living is much cheaper than in Manila. Compared to other Asian destinations, Philippine provincial cities have cheaper food and lodging, yet the basics of good business can also be found. We have 5-star hotels in almost all of our major cities. Food is an eclectic mix of Asian and European tastes, you can’t complain about not having anything decent to eat, if you know where to go. The secret to enjoying the islands is to be adventurous. Try new things and stop looking for 7-11 or McDonald’s. Our water is clean, our facilities complete and our service, superb.

SkewU: Skews and Sizzlers
I believe every one of us has a favorite restaurant. One that we will visit no matter how far. I, for one, have more than just one favorite restaurant. If I want to eat Korean food, I get dressed and drive a good 40 kilometers to this restaurant in Brgy Holy Spirit, Don Antonio Village, Quezon City. I love it because they serve authentic Korean food and it is also the favorite dining place of Korean nationals studying English in the school beside it. Why did I mention this? Because that is what SkewU is all about. It is your favorite kebab place and that you should visit it whenever you feel like eating Angus Kebab. Read the rest of this post »
