HELEN GAMBOA-SOTTO LAUNCHED MANANG’S CHICKEN AT VISAYAS AVE.,Q.C.
Urban legend had it that the beloved
cook-mayordoma affectionately called
Manang used to cook and serve sweet soy garlic
chicken with enormous passion on the dining table of her master’s family
and their visiting friends. They never had enough of Manang’s matchless way of doing chicken since then -- ang bagong fried chicken ng
Pinoy!
Now it can be told that the phenomenal
rise of Manang’s Chicken signature dish in the local community has played a
huge part in securing a niche all its own, thus re- defining Filipinos love for
chicken and fast food.
The mushrooming of Manang’s Chicken branches in Metro
Manila soon became viral. It found
its way to the blogosphere, whetting the appetite of the customers for that
“Pinoy kick” sweet flavor that intensifies satisfaction as one munches on
every piece of it to the last bite
where deep frying is a delicate
method among the discriminating foodies.
President and CEO of Giabella Foods Corporation Mrs. Jill Gerodias-
Borja, in hindsight knew that their chicken tasted extremely delicious and
special from the rest available in fast food
chain. To Mrs. Borja the business enterprise has been a breeze and
is growing almost unbelievably fast due to the large increase in demands and following.
Inspired from another favorite family
recipe, Manang’s Chicken offers yet choices of deep fried Garlic Liempo, Sesame
Beef Stew to Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Fried Pancit and Cheezy Spaghetti. It
also has delectable Manang’s Fish Fillet, an Asian twist with subtle
hints of ginger and mushroom with variations of secret soy garlic.
For those who want to have an
alternative to chicken another Filipino dish, a bagnet rice version goes well with the concept of Manang's Chicken. Natural and fresh fried
potato chips take the sidelights along with coleslaw and macaroni salad. A twist on a classic dessert with a taste of
heaven inside, the Velvet Sundae made of moist velvety cake and fudge topped by
vanilla ice cream was lately launched at another branch of Manang’s Chicken,
Morato, Q.C.
Last June 5, 5:00 pm marked another
timely occasion for the most recent
addition of another branch of Manang’s Chicken
at Wilcon City Center, along Visayas Ave., Q.C. with distinguished guests
from the business sector and public
officials including top movie celebrities in attendance led by the First Lady
of Senator Tito Sotto Mrs. Helen Gamboa- Sotto.
Not known to many the movie
queen otherwise known as the Bang Shang
A Lang Queen of Songs is also an
acknowledged and excellent gourmet herself.
Asked how she is able to keep husband Tito and her family on an even keel, Helen jokingly quips, “Haven’t you heard that the best way to keep your man and your
children perhaps is through their
stomach.” Incidentally, Helen is
in the stellar role as the queenly and shining villain to Dawn Zulueta in the top-rated ABS-CBN’s teleserye “Walang
Hanggan” where for the first time she appears onscreen with another movie queen
Susan Roces.
Manang’s Chicken has several
branches located at AIC Gold Tower, Garnet Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig
City; G/F One Burgundy Plaza, Katipunan; SM Megamall; SM North
Edsa; Glorietta Food Choices ; One Archers, Taft Ave. Manila; Unit 2
& 3,Tomas Morato, Q. C. ; and Presidents
Ave., BF Homes Parañaque.
