Delicious and Tasty Chicken at Goldie Chicken House - Davao City

If you like chicken, well fried chicken to be exact. Better check out Goldie Chicken House at Ilustre Street. 

When it comes to chicken, for me they have the tastiest and juiciest chicken, that can rival that of Jollibee and Mcdonalds. Me and my wife love to eat there because also of their affordable price. I'm not sure of the correct prices of Jollibee and Mcdonalds when it comes to chicken, as far as I can remember, a 1 piece chicken meal in Jollibee or Mcdonalds can cost you almost 80 pesos (a one piece chicken part, one soft drinks and a rice) and that is good for only a single person. At Goldie, me and my wife usually order a Thrift Treat (Large) which can cost us 142 pesos, Expensive? well lets look at the content. A Thrift Treat (Large) has 6 slices of chicken part (YES 6 chicken parts compare to a single part on your favorite food chain), a rice and a macaroni or potato salad. Since there is only 1 rice we would order an extra rice, and an ice tea which cost 18 pesos. Usually our bill would range at about 180 pesos, is it worth it? of course. 

The only downside of the place well, its not air conditioned, only ceiling fans are in used, so come lunch time it could get a little hot, and the place also is not that big, it could accommodate maybe 20 to 30 person the most. But only few people dine in at the place, most of their clients would order in advance through phone call, and mostly are take out orders.

So if you crave for some tasty and yet affordable chicken. Don't hesitate to visit Goldie Chicken House. 

Goldie Chicken House is located at Amgar Plaza, Ilustre St, Davao City. Tel No.: 226-3846

Below are some photos of the place and our order.

Heavy Eating with Chowking Lauriat at Gaisano Mall Davao

After work, me and my wife went to Gaisano Mall Davao to buy groceries. When we got there, we went directly to the Metrobank ATM machine to withdraw money for the groceries. But to our dismay the machine cannot dispense anymore cash. Although there were other ATM machines in the place, we didn't even bother trying to withdraw anymore, because before we have experienced withdrawing in other machines only to be deducted 50 pesos or 100 pesos. So since we don't have money for the groceries and what we can muster in our wallet is a 500 peso bill, and we were so frustrated not being able to withdraw money and we were so hungry (sometimes being frustrated can really makes me hungry) we decided to eat at Chowking.

Usually we would order braised beef or soup, but this time we were that hungry we went for a lauriat hahahaha. I ordered a chicken lauriat while wifey had a breaded fish lauriat. After our dinner, whoaa we were very full. Chowking's lauriat really is a heavy meal (Heavy on the stomach as well on the pocket hahahahaha).

Shawarma

I have always wanted to try shawarma. The other day, me and hubby dropped by at Robinson's looking for Keona's milk which was unavailable in other department stores. We saw a foodcart of shawarma but we did not buy anymore because I was full.

Yesterday, on our way home from Mintal, we dropped by at SM to buy Keona's milk because my officemate told me it's available there. After buying groceries, we saw the same foodcart of shawarma and since it was snacks time, we bought shawarma so that we can taste it.

It tasted good, we chose the one with cheese. I like the spicy taste mixed with sauce and some veggies.

The name of the food cart is Leylam shawarma. Here are some of their specialties:

• beef shawarma

• beef shawarma with cheese

• beef shawarma all meat with cheese

• shawarma rice

• shawarma rice with egg

I want to taste kabab next time...Have a great weekend friends!

Beef Siomai and Beef Brisket at Mandarin

Me and hubby were looking for a notebook yesterday because all we have at home is a desktop PC. I complained to him that I have a hard time surfing and blogging because I still have to go to the other room where the PC is placed. We were canvassing for prices and when it was already lunch time, we would have wanted to eat at Times Square but it was already crowded so we decided to eat at our favorite Mandarin Tea Garden restaurant along Ilustre street. I would have wanted something different but I can't think of any menu that I like. So as usual, we ordered beef brisket rice, beef siomai and mango shake. The supreme siomai which is made of shrimp is more yummy than the one we ordered but since I have an allergy to shrimp, we just settled with the beef siomai.

We had a very yummy lunch and we get out at Mandarin satisfied with a big burp:). Mandarin has branches at SM Mall, Gaisano Mall, Sta. Ana st., near Holy Cross College.
