Newly Revamped Reyal Roasted Chicken, Ang Litson Manok na Mas Masarap 'Pag May Sauce!

For the past years, players in rotisserie market and roasted chicken industry here in our country which claims to offer the best litson manok or roasted chicken, come and go, but there are few that manage to stay in the game to this day. I have few favorites and one of them is Reyal Litson Manok known for its tagline, "Mas masarap 'pag may sauce." 

While I am also a fan of the other Filipino roasted chicken brand which claims that their roasted chicken is "Masarap kahit walang sauce," Reyal's roasted chicken with its signature sauce has its own delicious charm I adore. They are sister brand under Bounty Agro Ventures, by the way. 

Reyal Litson Manok is already on its second year and to this day, and in line with this, they have recently made a rebranding to further capture the hearts of many Filipinos. 

Restaurants at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila [Part Two of My Marco Polo Hotel Staycation]

Marco Polo Ortigas Manila is one of the hotels located at Ortigas Central Business District. It is surrounded with different shopping malls, restaurants, and other food establishments that hotel guests may visit and explore if so desired. If on the other hand the guests would rather stay within the hotel property but still want to enjoy an excellent gastronomical experience, Marco Polo Ortigas Manila wouldn't disappoint.

I have mentioned on the first part of my Marco Polo Hotel Staycation series that Marco Polo Ortigas Manila houses specialty dining outlets that caters even to the most discerning palates.

During my staycation, I had the pleasure of visiting and trying out these dining options inside Marco Polo Ortigas. While I have dines at some of these restaurants in the past, everything still leaves good impression and memorable experience for me.

Staycation at Marco Polo Ortigas Manila [Part One]

After an unforgiving work schedule for the past months, I had the pleasure of staying at Marco Polo Hotel Ortigas Manila recently for a well-deserved relaxation. Now I am telling you this from the get-go, my stay at Marco Polo Manila is one of the best hotel staycations I have had recently. The stay coincided with my birthday which makes it all the more special.

Good quality service and impeccable experience are to be expected when staying at a five star hotel, I know. However, Marco Polo Hotel Ortigas Manila exceeded that expectation which made this girl right here, really happy. 

No wonder that since Marco Polo Hotel opened its door here in Manila, it already got several recognition under its umbrella. For one, Forbes Travel Guide, known as the global authority on luxury travel since 1958, awarded Marco Polo Hotel Ortigas Manila as one of the finest five star hotel in the world for 2017. Impressive, right?

Easy Pimiento Cheese Spread Recipe

I was browsing through the list of recipes using KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer that was handed to us during its launching that I went to early this year in the Philippines when I stumbled upon the recipe for Pimiento Cheese Spread. I thought it was an easy recipe. Easy, fast, and very convenient. Way different from my very own recipe for Southern Style Pimiento Cheese Spread which takes time to make.

The recipe from the list uses KitchenAid Stand Mixer which efficiency cuts the time it usually takes to make Pimiento Cheese Spread in half. So this recipe is perfect during crunch time when you need to get something fast and delicious on the table.

Since I am a master multi-tasker, I love the fact that I can do so much more while my KitchenAid Artisan Mini Stand Mixer is doing its job mixing the Pimiento Cheese Spread ingredients together. It goes to show how KitchenAid Stand Mixer can really make our life in the kitchen way easier.
