Chicken!
You can do away with the usual fast-food fried chicken meal if you’re dining out on a budget. Cavana, a restaurant that specializes in chicken dishes, is a great alternative. You’ll find an array of not just chicken meal but other tasty dishes, too. You’re sure to find something that will suit your taste and within your budget.
Here in the Philippines, Cavana is located at SM Megamall (near Powerbooks). It’s a neat cozy place, with a color scheme that is relaxing; not too fancy to be intimidating. We’ve tried two of their chicken rice meals (hmm… reminds me of the Singaporean film Chicken Rice War — a truly enjoyable rom-com movie 
): the honey grilled chicken rice and hainanese chicken rice.
A plate of Honey Grilled Chicken Rice — boneless chicken, grilled and glazed with honey; served with rice (of course) topped with crispy garlic, coleslaw and two kinds of sauces or sawsawan (soy sauce and chili sauce).
Sumptuous Hainanese Chicken Rice — tender boneless boiled chicken topped with sautéed carrots and cucumber strips; served wit rice (dapat! ), soup, and three kinds of sauces or sawsawan (soy sauce, chili sauce and pounded ginger). The ginger really makes the difference. 
Personally, I’m curious to know how this dish is prepared. If you have the recipe, share it with me, please.

Yay, girl. Di pa ako kumakain and now your post makes me feel so hungry!
Hey, seriosohin mo na kaya ang magtayo ng food and dining blog? Hehehehe.
Nakikinikinita kong maganda ang naghihintay sa iyong kapalaran sa food blogging!
Kelan tau food trip ulit?
Salve: sarap sya, girl. try mo.
hmm… ano nga kaya mag-food blog ako?
we’ve discovered a new place in cubao. try natin minsan.
Nakakagutom mare:) Buti na lang in 30 minutes we’re having lunch. The photos speak of the taste pero basta galing syo mare, I believe masarap nga dyan:) I’ll try it one time.
Salve: masarap talaga, mare. recommended ni hot momma tet yung hainanese chicken rice. kung type mo oriental taste, magugustuhan mo yun.
ay di naman masarap diyan!!! wahahaha… joke. Trulily eklabu ng chinilin ni avi.. so lafang ever na
Salve: nagustuhan mo nga yung coleslaw, kahit gulay yun!
Un vrai luxe de gourmandise eh?
Sometimes I like to eat with a little touch-of-gourmet. Sabihin mo sa chef na ibahin ang presentation ng plate sa pangalawang picture.
Salve: hindi talaga kasali dyan sa tray yung rice, nakahiwalay sya na plave, VF. inilagay ko lang para isang picture lang.
it’s good presentation na, kasi parang fast-food pa rin sya. mas maayos lang ang serving.
ah excited ako! alam ko to weeee~
yung hainanese chicken, basta lagyan mo lang ng luya yung manok at sesame oil pwede na yun! hahahaha. yan yung key ingredients. nagluluto kami nito ng tatay ko na mahilig sa sesame oil. lahat nalang ng niluto nya lasang linga.
basta ate, niluto lang sa luya yun. eh pero masarap kasi nawawala yung lansa ng manok dahil sa taba ng balat, gawin mo, pakuluan mo yung chicken ng sandali para matanggal yung taba sa balat. tapos, pakuluan mo ulit sandali sa onting tubig / no salt chicken stock with chicken cubes at sesame oil at toyo para magkalasa na yung loob ng manok. igisa mo sa bawang. madaming madaming bawang din na may kinadkad na ginger ulit.
chaka yung bigas mo, bili ka ng thai rice okaya persian rice. yung long grain. isaing mo sa chicken stock na matabang tapos kadkaran mo ng luya at pamintang onti. hehehe.
its all in the chili ginger sauce. dikdikin mo lang yung ginger lagyan mong sesame oil. meron naman nung ufc na sweet chili sauce diba, ihalo mo. tada! (ulit) meron ka nang hainanese chicken.
p.s. sa lahat ng sesame oil na natikman ko. lee kum kee yung pinakaswabe.
Salve: salamat sa pagse-share ng recipe, vera. ita-try ko talaga `to. key ingredient pala ang sesame oil.
mukhang masarap!!!
