Love those yummy KFC BBQ Rods!

I've been ordering the 3-piece KFC BBQ Rods Meal during the last four times I've visited KFC. I think it has become my favorite. I even had it delivered at home when our cook took the day off.

The KFC BBQ Rods Meal comes with either 2 or 3 sticks of crunchy skewered chicken drizzled with barbecue sauce, a serving of java rice, and a drink. The 3-piece meal I always order costs P95. I even choose Lipton Iced Tea as my beverage. I don't get charged extra for doing so, unlike other places which make you pay an additional P10 to switch from soda to iced tea.

Personally, I prefer boneless chicken. It's very convenient, especially for busy people like me who have to do so many things and be in so many places everyday.

KFC BBQ Rods give me the best of everything. It's crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and it doesn't have any bones that I have to contend with. The barbecue sauce it's glazed with possess the distinct flavor of peanuts -- it's sooo good especially when paired with the java rice. I'm so addicted. I can eat the yummy chicken off the stick with ease so it makes for a quick and delicious meal. In fact, I just had it again earlier today when I was on the road and stopped for an early lunch.

You can actually try the KFC BBQ Rods on a per stick basis for P25 each. Visit KFC today if you haven't done so yet! :D

Laughter Yoga with Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt + Jelly

A few weekends ago, I was invited to a unique event -- Laughter Yoga with Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt + Jelly.

Laughter Yoga, or Hasyayoga, is a form of yoga which involves making yourself laugh for the sake of your well-being. It is designed to bring more oxygen to the body and brain. It doesn't even matter if your laugh is real or fake because Laughter Yoga works on the assumption that the body can't distinguish between the two. Thus, the physiological and psychologically benefits are identical.

Paolo Trinidad (guy in purple pictured above) facilitated our Laughter Yoga session. It entailed lots of staring, chanting, making faces, and trying our darnedest to at least elicit a chuckle. Paolo is a certified Laughter Yoga instructor who also works with inmates in his spare time. It was an interesting session to say the least, but I think for my health and fitness I will stick to Bikram Yoga.

More than the Laughter Yoga, I was more interested in the new product Nestle was introducing -- Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt + Jelly!

Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt + Jelly comes in two flavors: Buco Pandan (pictured above) and Strawberry. Instead of having a full cup of yogurt, the top half of the cup consists of jiggly jelly while creamy yogurt fills the bottom half.

I was amused at how differently we all had our Yogurt + Jelly. Some ate the jelly first, the yogurt later. Some mixed it up into a smooshy concoction. I simply dug in and made sure I had both the jelly and the yogurt on my spoon. The Buco Pandan variant is a winner, it had tiny nata bits that added texture and complemented the tart yogurt perfectly.

Want to try Nestle Fruit Selection Yogurt + Jelly for yourself? Then join this simple contest:

1. Describe your NFSY with Jelly snacking experience using the portmanteau game. You can come up with a portmanteau by combining two words like jelly + delicious = jellicious

5. Each person can post as many entries as he/she wants as long as each portmanteau is different. Deadline is on Sept. 5, 2010.
   
   
6. Winners will be chosen according to the creativity of the entry.
   
   
7. There will be two (2) winners. One will receive 25 cups of NFSY with Jelly, while the other will receive 20 cups.

A food adventure at Delish Cuisine

I visited Delish Cuisine with a group of foodie friends and bloggers last August 22, 2010. It was a Sunday. They're normally closed on Sunday but they opened that evening to host a lovely dinner for us. :D

For starters, we had a combination of Baked Oysters with Garlic and Cream Cheese (P225 per order) and Baked Oysters with Spinach, Bacon, and Herb (P220 per order). They combined the two kinds of oysters so we could try both variants. They are both sooo good... albeit the one with the spinach is probably the healthier, less fattening version since the garlic and cream cheese one is also full of creamy butter. I'll let you in on a little secret -- a cook from Cafe Via Mare (an establishment famous for their oysters) works inside Delish's kitchen, hehe. :p

Then we had Boneless Crispy Pork Knuckles with Oriental Sauce (P300, pictured above). It was okay, but I'm not too fond of consuming fatty meat.

Eggplant and Pumpkin Soup Duo (P90, pictured above) was another favorite of mine. I was amazed by how the sweet taste of pumpkin and the distinct flavor of eggplant managed to blend seamlessly for a unique sipping experience. :)

Golden Fillet of Fish with Sweet Banana and Fresh Tomato Relish (P185, pictured above) was up next. Tender fish covered in tomato-based sauce and topped with banana slices. Good combination. :)

I also loved Pinakbet with Bagnet (P165, pictured above). It's a very tasty vegetable dish -- and veggies are usually on the bland side. The crunchy Bagnet on top is a wonderful touch. This is so perfect with steamed white rice.

Crispy Marinated Chicken with Honey and Fried Garlic Chips (P185, pictured above) is one of Delish's bestsellers. The chicken skin is crispy and glazed with a yummy honey-based sauce and garlic chips. The mashed potatoes that's served with it is too good to describe with words. It's very creamy and yet at the same time has this gritty texture that comes from finely minced carrots that are mixed with the potatoes. Unfortunately, you can't see the big scoop of mashed potatoes on this photo as it's behind the chicken.

For dessert, we shared a big serving of Butterscotch Pavlova (P145, pictured above). It's soft and springy meringue made of pure egg whites served on top of caramel sauce and cream plus topped with diced ripe mangoes. A perfect end to a delicious dinner -- simply delish! :D
