Chicken Sunday

Every Sunday, I make it a point to cook Filipino dishes because I miss eating them. I had been craving for Halang2x and the perfect Adobo, so I made some today.

However, both Chicken Recipes required me to take off the skin before cooking. I had been doing this for many years already, but when I came here, I find that even if you take off the skin, the chicken still releases its natural oils. Meaning, there is fat in between the meat.. If I buy their free range chicken, the meat is gummy and difficult to cook. It takes so much time and energy to cook and eat it. So I vowed to buy the easy chicken.

For my 9000 MMK, I bought two huge chickens without wings, as that is how they sell their whole chicken here, no wings :-). For this batch, saved the first layer breast meat, and divided the chickens according to my recipe. The saved meat shall be for my pasta this week. The rib cage and all unconventional parts went to the Halang2x, while the thigh and drumstick as well as the second layer breast meat went to my adobo.. Portion control at best.. And I am eating them without rice..

Lunch at Nesta's in Magallanes St.

So here I am exploring the city again. I needed to withdraw as I wanted to buy pasalubong already. So I went to the capitol where there was a Land Bank ATM. Across the the street was a mini plaza, in front of this beautiful church.

The lady invited me to burn some candles, and pray. Unlike in the usual churches where there were areas designated for candle lighting and prayers, here, they made makeshift candle holders.

This lady is quite enterprising this way, lol..

Anyway, just across is the oldest bridge, behind the water fountain. It was a lovely sight for me..

And of course, looking for a place to eat, I came to this side of the city hall. So sad vandalism has caught up with the wall. See the red writings on it? I hate to see clean walls being raped that way.

Just a few feet, and I saw this old eatery called Nesta's... The food looked common except for this fish. I do not know its name. But I smelled Sinigang so right away, I ordered it.

It felt like eating in Barrio Gaisano in Cagayan de Oro, only the people speak a different language. Before moving towards the counter, I couldn't help but get tempted with my favorite Brazo de Mercedes.

Just one slice makes my heart beat fast, lol.. and my mind telling me to let it pass.. But I couldn't.

I'm glad I took the order, for it was really yummy. I should have bought a roll, should I be traveling back already. Instead, I bought packs of their brownies and butterscotch..
