Lunch at Cooking Mama

It was quite sometime since my last visit in this quaint restaurant. Surprisingly, on all my three visits, I was with my BFF. Boy! DH should be jealous with GAT by now as I am spending more and more time with her these past few days lol But oye, GAT is practicing medicine again come the month of May. I will surely miss her ;p BFF, we haven't gone to have the milk bath, remember?!

Sorry about that. Back to Cooking Mama, we were not able to taste its lunch offering before and last Tuesday was an opportune time before our Jewelmer event.

The owners were present that day, and in my eagerness to try out their lunch menu, I wanted to order both the porkchop rice and the tapa rice. I consciously reminded myself that I was wearing a dress and I will be attending an event after. And that I can't look any fatter than I am hahaha So I ask the "cooking daddy" himself for suggestion. He picked the beef tapa rice, so I ordered it.

GAT and I were supposed to have lunch at Cooking Mama yesterday but due to air con malfunction, we ate at Prosperous Xiamen Restaurant. Read here for Cooking Mama review.

1/2 fried chicken PhP150

When GAT and I arrived, a table with two diners were already eating fried chicken which is their specialty. I mentally noted to order it. On its wall, big pictures of different dishes available on their menu were posted. I saw the salt & pepper squid and I ordered that too along with the fried chicken.

Within a few minutes the chicken came out first and then our cups of rice PhP20 each. The aroma of the chicken reminded me of my Angkong's (my grandfather on father side) chicken. But my Angkong's chicken proved to be tastier than this. But nevertheless, we were able to finished all except for two pieces which we decided to take home. I am a ketchup girl but with this particular chicken, the ketchup I poured on the saucer was not even touched. The chicken can be eaten as is without any sauce needed to spiced up the taste. It's good!

After our first visit, GAT and I promised to return for lunch. It took us two weeks after to return. But we didn't get to eat our lunch there. The air conditioning unit at that time was due for repair. We had our lunch instead in Prosperous Xiamen Restaurant but that's another post.
