Lucky Chinatown's Asian Food and Music Festival

Filipinos love to eat and so does the Chinese. The Philippine archipelago is considered a melting pot of South East Asia. And we often find ourselves in family or social gatherings where we celebrate our diverse culture along with food. Lucky Chinatown recently kicked off an activity that aims to engage the Filipino-Chinese community of Binondo in both Asian culinary as well as musical traditions. 

Popular songs were performed on stage by selected amateur young artists to the delight of the crowd.

Hainanese Delights Best Selling Hainanese Chicken

Hainanese Chicken Rice comes from the Chinese subtropical island of Hainan and many of the sons and daughters of Hainan migrated to Singapore. The most-popular dish of Hainan is the Chicken Rice in which a chicken is used in all ways — poached for the meat, the soup is used to make a deliciously flavoured rice and to also infuse the chili sauce. Thus, Hainanese Chicken has become one of Singapore’s top loved dishes. I have long discovered this awesome Singaporean specialty dish at Hainanese Delights at Robinson's Galleria in Ortigas. I could vividly recall the very first time I had eaten this dish and I was blown away because it was so good.  The only caution is to go easy on the chili and ginger sauce to make the dish more enjoyable. (I'm a chili fan so I used a lot of ginger and chili so you can probably imagine the intense heat because I was perspiring while eating!)
