Tweet

The King of Primetime Coco Martin stars in a new action thriller – this time, in the newest television commercial (TVC) of Mang Inasal, the leading Pinoy restaurant that serves the 2-in-1 sa Laki, Nuot-sa-Ihaw Sarap Chicken Inasal. 

The 15-seconder TVC features Martin in his element doing his usual heart-stopping stunts, while braving blazing fire and cinders. 

And all of these are set in a Mang Inasal store’s kitchen, where the real action really happens - flames and flavors combine to create the ultimate nuot sa ihaw sarap of the country’s most-loved chicken inasal. 

Mang Inasal Marketing Head Aileen Natividad said the latest Mang Inasal TVC reflects the exciting experience of customers whenever they savor Mang Inasal Chicken Inasal’s “exploding flavors.” 

“Our new TVC showcases our Chicken Inasal’s explosion of flavors, because we grill it in such a way that our special marinade not just coats but permeates the entire chicken. So whenever you have a bite of our Chicken Inasal, you will get thrilled with its perfectly grilled taste,” she said. 

Mang Inasal’s Chicken Inasal is prepared using a unique recipe, where choice cuts of guaranteed high-quality chicken are soaked in a special marinade made out of local secret spices, carefully skewered and grilled the Mang Inasal way. 

Further endearing Mang Inasal to Pinoys are the restaurant’s homey, grillery ambiance and pioneering unlimited serving of rice for all its Paborito meals. It also allows diners to savor the No.1 chicken inasal with special condiments, like chicken oil, which makes Mang Inasal meals even more flavorful. 

Mang Inasal opened its first store in Iloilo in December 2003, and has since then become one of the fastest growing restaurants in the country with over 500 outlets nationwide and counting.

Bossing Vic Sotto is now the Chooks-to-Go Endorser

Tweet

Vic Sotto

Well known and veteran actor and TV show host, “Bossing” Vic Sotto, has stood as an icon for countless brands. From homecare supplies to local beverage products, Vic’s charismatic appeal and conviction has propelled corporations, as well as himself, into a level of unmatched reliability.

Vic has consistently lived-up to his “Bossing” moniker, as an authority and someone whom Filipinos trust for everyday products. This time, the comedian partners with Bounty Agro Ventures, Inc. (BAVI)—the second largest poultry integrator locally—as the newest brand endorser of Chooks-to-Go, the country’s leading and fastest-growing oven-roasted chicken chain with more than a thousand storess nationwide.

Like a Bossing, Vic Sotto chooses Chooks-to-Go as his take-home ulam. With its “Hindi ka Nag-Uuwi ng Ulam na Basta-basta Lang” campaign, built on the premise of being “Masarap Kahit Walang Sauce”, Chooks-to-Go and Bossing brings ready-to-go, oven-roasted quality chicken closer to Filipino moms as their take-home ulam of choice that will surely delight the family.

During the Chooks-to-Go  conversation with new Ambassador, Vic shared to us that his wife, Pauleen introduced the chooks-to-go chicken before as her one of the favorite ulam. He wanted it event without sauce, so he really chooses the chook-to-go as their food at the table always. 

“When you say ‘ready-to-go’ and ‘quality food’, it should come with a great serving, taste, and nutrition. Importante ‘yun kasi hindi puwedeng basta-basta lang ang maiuwing pagkain para sa pamilya,” said Vic. “Kung gusto mo ng manok, there’s Chooks-to-Go. Malaman ang manok nila, hindi basta-basta. And the best part—‘pag hinain mo na, ‘yun na ‘yun, hindi mo na kailangan ng sauce.”

As an admirer of hardworking Filipinos, especially moms, Bossing Vic recognizes the efforts made in order to provide food on the table. “Basta hardworking, ako’y saludo, especially for moms because they exert double effort,” the actor said. “That’s why for the times when they can’t cook and kids want delicious food, dumaan ka lang ng Chooks-to Go, okay ka na.”

Practical, affordable, and delicious food to-go, Chooks-to-Go’s superior-quality, oven-roasted chicken goodness brings a fresh and healthy ulam fix to many Filipino households, which, even Vic could not escape. 

“Personally, I didn’t think twice about promoting this product because Chooks-to-Go is also my wife’s favorite. Aside from the taste, the price of one whole chicken for the family is reasonable—kayang-kaya eh. Ayos ka na, nag-enjoy ka na, nasarapan ka pa, at nakatipid ka pa!” Sotto admitted. 

Endorsing is one thing, but attesting to a product as a part of one’s daily life is a different story. And with Vic’s proven and reliable track record of promoting a product or brand he uses and trusts, families are in for a treat as moms are set to bring home hindi lang basta-basta take-home ulam, but Chooks-to-Go’s oven-roasted chicken that’s always masarap kahit walang sauce.

“We are very excited to have Vic as our endorser because he really believes in the products he promotes,” said BAVI president Ronald Mascariñas. 

“With Chooks-to-Go and Bossing together, we have a great opportunity to support hardworking moms with a go-to take-home ulam of choice that’s affordable, healthy, and delicious.”

Try this best fried you've never tried! Kenny Rogers’ OMG Unfried Fried Chicken!

Tweet

Fried chicken is one of the most universally loved foods around. It has become regularly present at our dinner table.

We always made fried chicken, get right down to the basics: Battered, breaded or plain, with a flour dredge, egg dipped, then flour coated, sometimes in seasoned flour, double-dipped in flour, egg and flour, breaded, or corn flakes, and or with other ingredients.. . and of course, cooked in hot oil. Fried Chicken!

Having lunch/dinner outside, enjoying eating most decadently delicious food, most tantalizing, crowd-pleasing variations on the classic chicken. Cooked in oil, but fried chicken is comfort food at its finest. 

But we need to have health food. Healthy and delicious – two of the best qualities that a food can have coupled into one outrageous, mouth-watering and guiltless fried food.

Who knew healthier fried chicken is possible?

Yes,  Fried chicken is the ultimate Pinoy comfort food, especially when it’s perfectly cooked. Imagine the crispy skin that crumbles and crunches with every bite, the juicy, wonderfully tender meat paired with a spoonful of soft, fluffy steamed rice. Yum!

Sadly, fried chicken lovers often feel remorse, knowing that their favorite treat is unhealthy. It’s quite difficult to argue the case for fried chicken, since this dish is traditionally deep-fried in oil. 

According to the Harvard University School of Public Health, those who eat a lot of foods fried in oil are at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Though there’s no need to worry and give up the delectable fried chicken—since fried chicken without the guilt is possible. OMG, really?

Kenny Rogers Roasters’ OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is here—an outrageously mouthwatering, guiltless treat for those who just can’t give up on the wonders of fried chicken. This new innovation is next-level fried chicken: juicier, more delicious, crispier, and all without deep-frying.

Mackis Tuazon, Kenny Rogers Roasters Philippines Marketing Manager to an exclusive OMG Unfried Fried Chicken bloggers event, held July 16, 2016, at Kenny Rogers ROASTERS Katipunan, Quezon City.

Kenny Rogers’ OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is good for you. Why? 

Recently, We witness how Kenny Rogers ROASTERS’ newest OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is cooked to achieve a perfect mix of guilt-free and flavourful. We see how the product is being made; in an exclusive kitchen raid, hear and learn about the product’s secrets from Kenny Rogers ROASTERS representatives and of course, taste the OMG Unfried Fried chicken that’s air-fried into perfection.

Here are the top four reasons why the new OMG Unfried Fried Chicken is better!

• Less oil, fried no more. The OMG Unfried Fried Chicken, unlike most fried chicken products in the market, is not deep-fried, but rather, cooked through circulating hot air. The result: the skin is still crispy, the meat is juicier with the chicken’s natural oil, and there’s no excess oil used in the cooking process. It’s pure fried chicken goodness minus the health-endangering oil and deep-frying!

• Deliciousness without the guilt. Great flavors don’t have to mean feeling guilty hours after a heavy meal. With the OMG Unfried Fried Chicken, even the health-conscious can partake in fried chicken indulgence since there’s only pure flavor with every protein-packed bite. Less oil and zero guilt!

• It’s perfect with amazingly healthy sides. Fried chicken without tasty sides is just sad—at Kenny Rogers Roasters, it’s easy to complete the dining experience with a variety of healthy, freshly cooked sides, such as steamed vegetables, corn and carrots, salads, and more. For only P215.00, customers can get 2 pcs. of OMG Unfried Fried Chicken with 2 regular side dishes, white rice, and a muffin. Healthy, balanced meal!

• It’s perfect for sharing. Why not share the deliciously healthy love with the entire family, office, or barkada? The OMG Unfried Fried Chicken comes in a Group Meal with eight perfectly unfried fried chicken pieces, four muffins, four rice, four regular sides, gravy, and the customers’ choice of drink for only P730.00 or for pure OMG Unfried Fried chicken goodness, there’s the 8-piece also ideal for sharing (P465.00).

I was invited by my friend Richard Mamuyac to try the Stackers Burger Café’s new Baked Fried Chicken in Eastwood City, Libis.  Hmm, the Stacker’s Baked Fried Chicken is tender and juicy. It has the freshness and crispiness of a fried chicken plus the authentic flavor. 

Stackers Burger Café launches the country’s first-ever Baked Fried Chicken.

Stackers Burger Café, one of the country’s leading fast-casual food concept, recently introduced another groundbreaking gastronomic treat that is sure to become the next best thing in chicken: “Baked Fried Chicken.”

This breakthrough chicken masterpiece was launched first at the Franchise Asia Philippines 2012 Expo held recently at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. The Stackers Burger Café Baked Fried Chicken is another food innovation from Bryan Tiu, founding owner of Teriyaki Boy before he sold 70% of the brand to the Pancake House Group in 2005. A prime restaurateur with several known food brands under his I-Foods, Inc., Tiu is at the helm of other homegrown brands like Tokyo Café, Peri-Peri Chicken and Kogi Bulgogi.

The newest thing to ever happen to chicken, Stackers’ Baked Fried Chicken is Tiu’s latest take on the all-time Pinoy favorite. Mastered after months of careful research by the I-Foods Inc. research & development team, Stackers’ Baked Fried Chicken surprised all with 80% less oil so it’s lighter and healthier than the usual fast food fried chicken. A definite treat to the more health-conscious food lovers who just love their fried chicken. Dare to compare Stackers’ Baked Fried Chicken with your usual fastfood fried chicken and enjoy the healthier difference.

In the Franchise Asia 2012, I-Foods, Inc. gave away complimentary Baked Fried Chicken gift certificates to expo attendees and other prospective franchisees in order to provide them with the opportunity to try out this new and exciting offering.

Try this out-of-the-ordinary chicken delight available in all Stackers Burger Café outlets located at Eastwood City, Resorts World and McKinley Hill Venice Piazza in Bonifacio Global City, Alabang Town Center and also at its newly opened branch at the Promenade Mall in Greenhills, San Juan City.

Also exhibited at the Franchise Expo was Tiu’s Tokyo Café, which showcased the Japanese way of preparing coffee. Coffee connoisseur Atsushi Yoshizawa’s coffee creations are the main reasons why coffee-loving Pinoys continue to troop to Tokyo Café to sample its brewed treats like its famous “Tokyo Blend.” For their delectable food pleasures, Tokyo Café boasts of its “creamy ebiko pasta,” “chicken and cheese roll,” and “Tenju.”

I-Foods Inc.'s other food retail brands include: Peri Peri Charcoal Chicken and Kogi Bulgogi. Tiu said opening possible franchise opportunities to business-minded individuals like himself will enable more Filipinos to enjoy his company’s pioneering and inventive food brands and its outstanding value offerings.

Thanks to Richard Mamuyac for this wonderful invitation to a great Stackers Burger Cafe' and this is one happiest day when I also met my celebrity friend, Victor Basa, the model, VJ, Actor and TV Host.

My New Addicting Friend - BonChon Chicken!

Tweet

This holidays , I spend time for our shopping for the Christmas, with my family.  One  Saturday night we were in Trinoma Mall Quezon City. Mall crowded, but that’s really holidays shopping and Christmas gifts and many more things are the main functions of all. Not was done with everything we want to do and wish to have, but feel hungry. That time I want to eat dinner, we walk around and look for something new. All restaurants , fast food  and  coffee shops , all are full!

We saw this new,  Bonchon Chicken. Ambiance is nice for a fast food. There were lots of people dining in and we need to be wait to be seated.

But after few minutes, we had our place. We grab a simple and easy to serve to us, a pack of medium chicken wings 12 pieces and rice. And wow! Chicken are yummy! And we have Ice tea.

The chicken is super crispy and not greasy and delicious.

BonChon  has addicting chicken, crispy, light, with hot juicy meat flavored with your choice of soy garlic or the hot and spicy glaze.

I think It’s the original highly-addicting formula that keeps people coming back for more. They’re affordable. 

I read their menu fliers , "Best Chicken in America," "The original Korean fried chicken secret." 

We'll definitely be back next time to try more offerings.
