Apparently, rainy season has arrived, but that doesn’t mean we cannot enjoy our favorite sweet cold treats. Other than the very Pinoy, HALO-HALO and those irresistible delights regardless of season— ICE CREAM; my family and I also love YOGURT.
Last Saturday, Tina, Gabby and I had our lunch at Pancake House in Bonifacio High Street. Pancake House is one of our family’s favorites and it was only last weekend that we got to try their latest offering : the GURTS, Pancake House’s Frozen Yogurt.
Gurts is creamy and cool 98% fat-free frozen yogurt.
I don’t know about you but my wife and I like our yogurt with tangy taste. For us, it what separates yogurts from ice creams and again, we like them both. 
Gurts frozen yogurts have this sour taste that we look for in a scoop.
Gabby was first to choose his Gurts. He wanted a D-I-Y gurts and pointed directly from the menu the plain regular yogurt (PhP 78+) and our “little chef” also selected White Chocolate Chips (PhP 20+) and Leche Flan (PhP 38+) as toppings for his gurts…
Then Tina and I first thought of sharing a medium-sized yogurt (PhP 108+) because the family-sized (PhP 150+) is bigger than our appetite, but we settled for regular Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Cheesecake (PhP 155+) because the medium for that flavor wasn’t available. Unlike Gabby’s yogurt that he got to choose his own toppings, ours was a straight-from-the-menu Gurts with cheesecake chunks, generous volume of blueberries, and white chocolate chips…
Yummy!
And I almost forgot what we shared for lunch, LOL! We had a family-sized CARBONARA (PhP 302+) and my personal favorite, PAN FRIED CHICKEN (PhP 189+). It’s one of those commercial crispy fried chickens that I like with its original gravy with smoky taste.
Yes, my family and I like home-cooked chocolate porridge or champorado with milk and tuyo flakes (dried fish), arroz caldo or goto with egg, hot delicious chicken mami and other wet season staples. It might sound weird to you but we also consider ice cream and yogurt as our rainy-day-comfort foods too. And why not, they never fail to brighten up those gloomy days.
My wife’s choice cut is usually wings while our son Gabby likes anything fried less the skin.
CAFE ADRIATICO’S CHICKEN A LA KIEV.
TGIF’s JACK DANIEL’S CHICKEN. I like that it’s grilled to perfection and that Jack Daniel sauce is unforgettable.
PANCAKE HOUSE’S PAN FRIED CHICKEN. What’s unique with Pancake House’s version of fried chicken? Nothing but the crunchiness of its skin (which is God-forbid, cholesterol-rich!) and perfect frying of the meat plus that smokey flavored gravy.
SAVORY’S FRIED CHICKEN CLASSIC. That oriental-tasting gravy separates Savory’s from the rest.
WORLD CHICKEN’S GRILLED CHICKEN FILLET with RANCH SAUCE + PESTO PASTA & POTATO SALAD.
BALIWAG’S LECHON MANOK + ATCHARA/PICKLED PAPAYA. = emergency food ! This has been a part of our home meals whenever we ran out of time to go to the grocery or my wife or our house help failed to cook for whatever reason. I like it with pickled papaya on plain rice, garlic, or java plus extra gravy please… 
CONTI’S CHICKEN BALLOTINE. Conti’s menu consists of simple dishes with extraordinary tastes. And this Chicken Ballotine is no exception. It’s similar to Chicken Cordon Bleu with fillings & stuffings rolled with the chicken and served with cream sauce. Yummy! 
KIMONO KEN’S CHICKEN CHEESE ROLL. One of the must-try in their menu.
KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN’S CHICKEN STRIPS =goodness.
MCDONALD’S CHICKEN MCDO = love.
JOLLIBEE’S CHICKEN JOY =happiness.
