WOW LEGS!

***AS OF APRIL 8, 2012, WOW LEGS is already closed. Hope they reopen soon!***

Barely a week old and still on soft opening, my sister, Mom and I just couldn't wait 'till its full operation so we headed to WOW LEGS! to check out what they had to offer.

The place is quite clean and spacious. The meals are at reasonable prices WITH unlimited rice!

They also have this promo that when you buy four meals, you get the fifth one for only one peso. A really budget-friendly place to dine with your family, or friends. The price of the meals do not go beyond 99 pesos.

The menu offers mainly chicken legs cooked in different ways. Just to be clear - with legs I mean the thigh plus the leg - not the drumstick only. You can order it inasal, barbecued or fried. They also offer pork, an alternative to those who do not really fancy chicken.

I ordered the crispy sisig. It's pretty good, served on a sizzling plate with a crunchy sunny side up egg.

Sister ordered Wow Legs! Chicken Barbecue

Mom ordered the Inasal version of the chicken leg. It was good, too. (Snatched a few slices from her, hehe)

Softdrinks to go with our meals...

...and to battle the spicy oil! Yummy!

Our flavorful lunch

Visit Wow Legs! today! (Love their mascot - a "minotaur" of pig and chicken!)

More Reasons to Love KRUNG THAI

Yesterday we were back at Krung Thai for my sister's extended birthday celebration. The place was packed, as always, and even more so given that it was Sunday - a family day, and it's the pay weekend! As mentioned in my first post on the restaurant, we've been here several times but we usually order the same stuff, the stuff that we love. Yesterday, we got to try new things from their menu.

The TOM YUM SOUP was sour and spicy (259 PhP/349 PhP for medium or large serving). You can ask your server to make it extra hot, or, like what we did, mild. Boo?

The soup gets served in this authentic hot pot

Crab meat rice (99 PhP/189 PhP/389 PhP for small, medium and large servings). Stir fried rice with the fragrance of shredded crab meat. Yum!

Adobong Kangkong - sweet and garlicky

AND NOW ON WITH THE CLASSICS:

Our favorite fried chicken that is best eaten with their chili sauce (129 PhP/249 PhP/498 PhP for quarter, half or whole chicken)

Bagoong rice that is a complete meal in itself - topped with pork adobo bits and scrambled egg... (99 PhP/189 PhP/389 PhP for small, medium and large servings)

...plus a green mango salad that is no less than sumptuous!

We ordered spring rolls, too!

Thai-style iced tea (left, 79 PhP) and regular iced tea (right, 59 PhP). The Thai-style iced tea is creamy and spiced. Delicious.

REE CHICHIE CASSAVA CAKE

If you would like to try something else, other than the usual cake or ice cream for dessert, you may want to drop by REE CHICHIE for a box of their warm cassava cake that comes in delicious flavors!

We have already tried three flavors, the original with cheese, macapuno, and corn. They are all really good and make for an ideal snack item anytime.

The box above is the macapuno variant of their cassava cake. Upon opening the box, your senses will be immediately met by warmth and sweetness.

With us, a box of their cassava cake usually lasts for 10 minutes? :D

They also have branches all over Manila and in Bulacan too!

SM MARIKINA

For those of you who are wondering where to eat in SM Marikina (obviously for those who haven't been inside the mall), I took a few shots of the restaurants there to serve as your reference. If you happen to be in the area and wonder if there will be good finds inside the mall (there always are!), check out this list to get an idea. This is not a complete list of the restaurants inside the mall, I missed taking shots of WHAM! Burgers, Gonuts Donuts, and the food court for example. :)
