Election Feast

As a Filipino, we have our obligation to vote for the leaders who will pull us away for the river of poverty and corruption. This day is special for us and also a day to gather and watch-out what’s happening.   This day is the national election and each and every family had the change to gather and feast.

My family and I went to Mandaluyong to where we are registered to vote. After voting in the morning, we went straight to the house of my brother for a sumptuous outdoor lunch.

Our mom prepared our favorite meal that is composed of lechon kawali, tinolang manok, inihaw na bagus and beef with mushroom.  It was a very good lunch while we were discussing the election and what our country might become after this day.

Right after eating, we went straight to their entertainment room to witness what is going around the country even through our Tv screens. This was an afternoon of frozen Margaritas and pizzas that concluded our discussion about the Philippine politics.

As a conclusion, we did not have the result of the election right after it closed at 7:00pm today, but the chance to gather again for a lazy afternoon right after we casted our vote gave more meaning to what our family is all about. Love, Closeness, and Good food.  

Steamed White Chicken

Chicken has always been one of the main dish in Chinese culinary art.  In fact, the Cantonese has many ways in how to serve and cook it with their traditional recipes.  Even the chicken feet, it dated far as the earliest dynasty in China.  It was the emperor’s food delight.  To our days, its the food trip of the emperor.  Hehe.  Now, when I am in the mood to eat chicken, one of my favorite stop is at Hap Chan and my favorite is the Steamed White Chicken.  Obviously, it is steamed and the color is pale.  It is served with sesame seeds and a sauce of a mixture of oil, ginger, and some leeks.  For me, I like it with soy,chilis, and calamansi.  It is very delectible that I can finish half of it in one sitting.  It goes very well with Yang Chow fried rice. 

Where to find

Hap Chan is located at major streets and dining areas in the Metro.  For this entry, i had it in their Antipolo branch along the Circumferential road.  It was a quite tastety chicken even though it may look bland.  This chicken has caught my attention through my taste buds and its looks. As what I mentioned before in food, ” Do not be decieve by the looks. For the taste will prove its worth.“  That is another food that is a total knockout for me.   I hope you will also try it.  It is worth the taste and the price as well. :)
