SoOohper Meals from Green Mango

Among the things I like about Green Mango is that constant innovation of its menu. From new items to new combo meals, the Filipino fast food restaurant is always on the go. Just like last Friday, the restaurant invited us for another food tasting session of their latest combo items – GM SoOOHper Meals. From the name alone you’d know you’re in for a super treat – big in taste but light on the wallet.It’s like a mix and match combo or I’d say a choose your own combo meal. From three carbohydrates-based items, one gets to pair them with three proteins. So it’s a choice between yummy spaghetti, award winning canton guisado and flavourful pancit palabok. More choices come next as one gets to pair it with delectable chicken barbecue, perfectly fried chicken and mouth watering fried pork chop.As this was a food taste session, all these combos were presented to us and we just choose what our stomach’s grumble that time and mine said “pancit palabok with fried pork chop”. I haven’t tried the pancit palabok so that was an easy choice and the fried pork chop – the lure of the golden brown crispness of the pock chop was too hard to resist!Though it was an unlikely combination, I quite enjoyed it the combo that also came with drink and gravy (all you want). I had finished my pancit palabok but barely halfway with my pork chop so ordering a cup of rice was inevitable -lol.

It was indeed a super Friday with Green Mango’s newest offering – GM SoOohper Meals and I’d surely be back for more. This time to review and taste test it as a regular paying customer to check the consistency in the serving size, the taste, the service and in a different branch, and hopefully with a new combo (the combo I had that time still begs for more-lol).

GM SoOOHper Meals costs PhP 80 each and are available in all Green Mango branches in Iloilo City.

An Ilonggo favorite - Valenciana

Found in almost all occasions like fiesta, birthdays, reunions and others, Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in special gatherings at home.  A complete " go, grow and glow " dish because it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful, Valenciana is really an " occasional dish ".  Here's the recipe for Valenciana

Ultimate Ilonggo Favorite: KBL Kadyos, Baboy, Langka

K.B.L. or Kadyos, Baboy, Langka is the ultimate favorite dish of most Ilonggos. It is also one of the most missed native dishes as kadyos and the souring ingredient, batwan , are hard to find when outside of the Ilonggo region.  Basically, it is boiled/stewed pork dish owing its "deliciousness" to the combination of the soft and tender pork, the tamed sourness of  batwan  and the  malinamnam na sabaw .  One of the "secrets" of the malinamnamn na sabaw , is the fact that the pork, whether just the plain meat or pata (hocks) are first grilled or broiled. This gives the broth a rather smoky taste that makes it more appetizing.. Learn how to make the Ilonggo dish KBL (Kadyos, Baboy, at Langka) with the recipe below. Ingredients 1 kilo Pata (pork hocks) or pork cubes, GRILLED and sliced into bite size pieces  1 unripe Jack fruit, cubed 2 cups pigeon pea (kadyos) 6-8 pieces batwan fruit  (or tamarind powder) 1 piece por...

A native delicacy called Inday-inday

Now you may ask, what is Inday-Inday ? It's another repetitive-feminine named native delicacy that is made from rice like its more popular sister - baye-baye . While the latter is has its own original flavor and make, inday-inday is actually a combination of two well loved native delicacies - muasi ( palitaw ) and bukayo . But the muasi portion is not the the usual palitaw  recipe for the it's more firm and gummy (I don't know the English term for kid-ol ). Actually its more like a hardened kutsinta and this makes it more to my liking since I'm not really fond of muasi in the first place.  And its not quite easy to find inday-inday in the market today, though I've seen and tried it in Sabor Ilonggo stalls but their's is more like suman latik for the based is ibos -like. Ibos is malagkit rice boiled in gata which is called suman in Tagalog. Despite the uncertainty for its nomenclature (I've read that inday-inday is just plain pal...

Muasi

A confession to start this blogpost - I consider MUASI as one of my hated native delicacies given its bland taste even with the sugar dip. But that was back during my childhood days. Maybe be because I may have used less sugar or might have completely forgotten to "dip" it at all. Yet nowadays, I have learned to appreciate it especially when its freshly cooked with the muscovado teeming the aroma of roasted sesame seeds. So let's make some MUASI

An Ilonggo favorite - Suman Latik

Suman Latik is one of my favorite native delicacies - plain suman/ibos topped with sweetened coconut strips or bukayo . Most of the time those sold in the markets have this two (suman and bukayo) already in one wrap and all you have to to is devour it. But most of the time, the bukayo portion is bitin that I wish there's more. So why not make our own suman latik so you can have all the suman we want with all the bukayo toppings we desire! Here's a simple recipe for Suman Latik
