Hot Star Large Fried Chicken

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 3

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 (...

NAIA 2 and its Infant Feeding Station

A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Canada without MBS. With the long haul flight and being outside my own comfort zone, I realized I was going to have a hard time with pumping and breast milk handling. Thoughts of where I was going to pump, how I was going to pump (in public areas) worried me. So, I'd have to say that I was immensely happy when I saw the Infant Feeding Station at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2. The station is located at the left end of the waiting area after you pass the carry-on luggage X-ray and metal detector. The sign of the station was a bit hard (for me) to see because firstly, I have blurry vision and secondly, the sign was way smaller than the MASSAGE sign beside it. But the station was truly a welcome sight, esp. since it's air-conditioned inside. I got a chance to beat the warm temperature in the waiting area for a while. :) Hopefully someday, all airports will soon be equipped with their o...

Hong Kong Disneyland (June 2018)

Since MBS kept true to her goal of getting a gold merit award on the 4th grading of her K1 journey (Yay!), I had to keep my word of granting her wish - a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. We arrived at HKIA around 5:30pm and had our dinner first before heading to the happiest place in the world. I loved that they cut the noodles for the kids so they won't have a hard time eating! MBS LM After filling our tummies, we headed off to the taxi area. HK taxis are set into three categories or colors, depending on the area: red for urban/city areas, blue for Lantau island, and green for New Territories. All three colors can bring us HK Disneyland. However, the red one is a bit more expensive than the green and blue ones. We took the green taxi. The ride to the Disneyland Explorer's Lodge cost us 147 HKD. Finally, we checked into HK Disneyland's Explorer Lodge! Hong Kong Disneyland offers three hotel choices: Disneyland Hotel, Hollywood Hotel, a...
