NEW FOOD: #KFCCheeseTop Burger

OMG! KFC just delivered a package for me here at school. What's inside is no mystery but the latest food offering from KFC! The Cheese Top Burger. As we know, these also made news over the internet with its unique look of having the cheese on top. Others thought it was a joke, a crazy idea, and even made it to a late night show in the US.Well from the looks of it, it actually looks cute to have the cheese on top which actually gives a more cheesy flavor instead of it mixed with the condiments inside the burger. 

It also reminded me of another food favorite which is the puto with the cheese on top. which makes teh flavor stand out instead of having the cheese inside. What's also new is the Original recipe chicken patty with it garlic parmesan sauce. For me it seems to have that cheesy-garlicy flavor. It's actually a new burger experience (aside from the double down also from KFC). And compared to a cheeseburger meal it is indeed streetwise as I may say.

KFC Introduces Cheese Top Burger as its newest Product Innovation

From the home of the world-famous Original Recipe Chicken, Krushers, DOuble Down, and twister comes another exciting product innovation that has already captured the interest of Filipino netizens -  Cheese Top Burger

The Cheese Top Burger is not your ordinary burger. Instead of putting a slice of cheese, KFC baked it into the bread itself so that it's mess free to eat. This also makes the burger bun tastier and cheesier, something that Filipinos love to enjoy. KFC also used a special garlic parmesan dressing that goes well with the bread and enhances its flavor along with the signature original Recipe Chicken patty with the colonel's 11 secret herbs and spices to complete this truly one-of-kind burger. Available in all KFC stores nationwide, the Cheese Top Burger is part of the Streetwise Value Menu for the affordable price of Php 50 with drink.

So Good!

Fud Fyt is Sooo Pinoy!

Its indeed obvious that I am in love with Food, especially Pinoy Cuisine. This made me explore uncharted places and flavors the city and the provinces have. I grew up in a bakery and my family hails from the Ilocos region and Batangas which made me experience a lot of exciting dishes from the provinces. And now as I also travel on my own I also make it a point to try something new and document it. I also love to cook and experiment with different spices and techniques which hopefully I would have a kitchen of my dreams to whip up something new yet delicious.

FOOD STOPS: Banapple

Banapple

Connecticut, San Juan

Though there is no such thing as a Banapple, it has become a brand that people would go to to enjoy quality and hearty meals and gets customers coming back for more. I first knew Banapple as a pastry shop and nothing else. But I was impressed by the fact that they also offer meals. And when I say meal it is a full meal, you won't be disappointed. 

FOOD LAB: Global Culinary and Hospitality Academy

Another special feature we have for food lab is the institutions that make great food and all of the works. Culinary schools became the new career trend for many Pinoys to find a better job opportunity overseas. However, this profession would take a lot of dedication, time and also the budget to be a top of a line culinary artist. However, there is now an institution that is making waves with food prowess in local and international competitions with world class high technology facilities and run by renowned chefs of the country yet very budget friendly that  gives hope to every juan to be the next legendary chef.

Winners of the 'I Love Fish video contest' Awarded by FISHTA Seafoods

Cooking is indeed a passion of many Filipinos which is also reflected in our culture. In a archepelago surrounded by rich waters filled with marine life, gives us a lot of reasons to come up with exciting fish dishes. FISHTA Seafoods, a division of Santeh Feeds and also a provider of fresh seafood to leading supermarkets in the Metro sees this riches of our seas and our passion for cooking and that is why they launched the "I LOVE FISH VIDEO CONTEST", an online competition for food lovers who wants to showcase their cooking prowess and creativity. The contest is not limited to just one variety of fish which give liberty for the participants to use different kinds of fishes to come up with their unique dish.

The mechanics were posted at http://ilovefish.ph/  Each of the videos are uploaded to the I love fish Youtube channel for everyone to see and also for those who wants to try the dishes for themselves.  There were a lot of amazing videos on how fish dishes were prepared, though I would like to know how each dish would taste like. Some are surprisingly easy to prepare yet look really good and delicious on plate. And since fish is a natural source of more protein and omega-3 which is good for the heart, it would make think to always have more dishes which would benefit my health in the long run. 

And after extensive deliberation of all the videos, the winners are announced and awarded last May 24, 2011 together with FISHTA management and Ms. Janette Toral who organized the said contest. Also present were the other video participants who will also take home prizes courtesy of FISHTA Seafoods, every goes home a winner.

I want to greet nomnom club on its first anniversarry as one of the metro's food blog. They made a early celebration with a a club meet up in Greenwich SM North EDSA, however I was not able to attend due to work. But nevertheless, it was a fun meet up since there is the intoduction of the new Pizza flavor by Greenwich, also a  year of web hosting was also raffled off.  This blog is also one of the inspirations why fudfyt came into reality. For this one, we here at fudfyt would like to greet nomnom club a happy anniversary!

Angels Pizza, Pasta, Combos, and More!

For the first time I attended a gathering of nomnom club at Angel's Pizza. Also It was one of the first time to have a food tasting event at a pizza house. I love Italian cuisine and of course that involves pizza and pasta. They have a variety of pizza flavors with a generous serving of toppings that can surely fill up even with a big appetite.The pizza selections were very unique and very delicious indeed for example are Cheesy Melt ( uber cheesy!) Angel's Medley, Extra Feast, Spicy Tuna ( which has the right amount of spiciness to teaseyour tastebuds) just to name a few. 


They also serve Combo meals like Chicken, Liempo, and even has a bucket meal!This makes Angel's Pizza a cut about the other pizza houses as it gives the consumers the value and great taste for its menu, and since there are expanding with new stores, try to pick up one and enjoy!

Fud Fyt! Its now officially a blog!

Your favorite segment about food, food and more food from manualtolyf.blogspot.com has evolved into a independent blog that I think that give a better spot light for the food post entries and would also make a easier navigation and posting on the favorite topic of most people. 

I hope that with this one, I could do more posts and other interesting features that a segment in a blog could just not contain (since food is such a very broad topic to discuss). I also hope that this will also give a wider space for other things that one may use as references and also share to other people. So lets eat, and celebrate! Lets have a Fud Fyt!
