Hot Star Large Fried Chicken

By esa
When I heard that a chicken chop (ji-pai) shop had opened in Manila this March, I was looking forward to the day I was going to taste my favorite Taiwanese street food again. It's been too long since I've had ji pai, and I was already drooling thinking about it. 

And so, with a couple of free hours on our hands, I got MH to drive me to Blue Bay Walk (just across Blue Wave, near MOA) to go and satisfy my cravings.  

 Hot Star Large Fried Chicken did NOT disappoint. :) 
Oh, Taiwan chi-pai, how I've missed you so!

This is what you see when you enter. You order at the counter and pick up your food at the blue window. 

 I love how the order counter and pick up counter of the restaurant looks like it was made out of container vans. 

After paying for your order, you can sit down and wait. The number on your receipt will appear on the black TV hanging on the left side of the picture when your order is ready.
They have different types of ji-pai: Original, Crunchy, and Barbecue. You can add Php 35 to upsize your order to a meal (rice + 120z drink).
happy happy joy joy :)

BBQ ji-pai, ORIGINAL ji-pai, and Mountain Dew. The chicken chops were HUMONGOUS. The entire pack was filled to the bottom.
How could MH and I resist these desserts? :) Black gulaman and Almond crushed ice. They have the two flavors in soft serve ice cream as well! :)


I will most definitely come back here for another visit! :)

Baguio City 2017 - Day 2

By esa
DAY 2 To start off the day, the little monkey woke up early to run around the grounds of St. Patrick Village. He had just finished his oatmeal breakfast, which I was able to cook at the comfort of the house we rented.  This is the house we stayed in. Pathway leading to the exit A modern day Romeo and Juliet scene with the aunt Just as we were headed up to get ready for another exciting day, the little monkey's ears perked up when he heard a "Ta-hooooo!!!!" entering the village grounds. And boy, was I excited to find out that they offered another unique flavor - ube taho! What a way to start the day! :)  Kuya Willie arrived a few minutes past 9am, and off we went to Baguio Botanical Garden. *Baguio Van Rentals provided their drivers with their own lodging, so Kuya Willie didn't stay with us (even though there was more than enough room; they have a driver's quarters just beside the garage).  Family picture! The garden w...

Baguio City 2017 - Day 3

By esa
DAY 3 Here's a glimpse (with pictures) of what the inside of our rented house at St. Patrick looks like. The house can be rented for Php 18,000 a night. It was pricey for our small group, but would have been worth it for a bigger group.  Room# 1 at Lower Ground CR inside Room # 1 Stairs going to the main floor Living room (Main door is on the right) Dining room just across the living room Kitchen (Pots and pans, knives, chopping board, plates, utensils, rice cooker, water dispenser with 5 Gal water, water kettle are all provided.) Room # 2 at Main floor CR just outside Room # 2 Stairs leading to 2nd Floor Room# 3: Master's Bedroom (there's a CR inside) Room # 4 across the Master's Bedroom (CR located beside the room) Stairs going to Attic St. Patrick Village was nice enough to hold my downpayment for 1 year. We were supposed to go last year, but we had a family emergency.  I was really charmed by this place (...

Juicing with Juice Hut

By esa
My husband and I tried juicing a few days ago.  We ordered from Juice Hut , and tried their Midway Cleanse (2 days).  It was Php 2400 per head (+ delivery charges depending on your location) for 14 cold pressed juices and 2 bags of Yogi tea. However, we got Php 100 off since they ran out of thermal bags. We took in 7 bottles of cold pressed juices and 1 tea per day by following the cleanse guide we were provided with.  Their blends were really refreshing and yummy!  For their Detox blends, I liked their Cider Detox better than the Lemon Detox.  For Orange blends, the Eye Opener lives up to its name.  For the Green blends, I was just able to taste their Veggie Medley. It did not disappoint. For the Almond Milks, the Almond Matcha is a good choice.  I stayed strict throughout Day 1, but had some food on Day 2. My stomach wasn't prepared enough for the juicing. haha :) Also, one thing I noticed is that though I didn't f...
