There’s ORIGINAL SAVORY and there’s CLASSIC SAVORY. A couple of nights ago I ate at the Original Savory at the end of Ortigas Ave going into New Manila. The chicken was very good. Crunchy skin, much like Peking Duck but with uber-succulent meat. The gravy was kinda ordinary, but the chicken itself was wonderful. I could smell the Star Anise throughout the meal and it made the chicken taste even more delicious, because I love the smell of Star Anise. If you don’t know what it is, think Siopao.

I wondered why the prices were kinda different from the one I used to frequent, the CLASSIC SAVORY at the Mall of Asia. The chicken of Original Savory seemed different from Classic Savory because the former is kinda bland. However, the Original Savory chicken seems to be full-flavored, or is this because I had Original Savory very recently and I might have forgotten the taste of Classic Savory? According to the lady I spoke to at the Original Savory, the only difference is the Original Savory are mostly stand-alone stores while the ones inside the malls are Classic Savory. I don’t know if this explanation will fly.

Now, if you’re out there looking for a nice chicken dinner, please do go to Savory and tell me what you think the difference is. I tend to go with the original, but maybe this time I need your opinion too.

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve and then comes 2009. Despite the spending we all did during Christmas, I will still be dining out a bit more than usual in the first few months of 2009. However, because my finances have been “irreparably scarred” because of Christmas (he, he, he) I will probably dine at relatively cheaper places. Hotel buffets will have to take the back seat. But because I love good food, I will strive to dine at restaurants that will give me value for my peso. Lucky me, Savory to the rescue!
