How Do You Like Your Veggies?

Since we have a chemical free farm, best for me, are the ones freshly picked before you eat them. Some can be taken raw. If they have to be cooked, I like them boiled and then with some bagoong w/ Dayap, or salt on the side.

But, Manila is 8hrs away from the farm. The temperature in Manila is steaming hot. I can get locked up in airconditioning but that is no fun. Last night, I wanted to eat good salad, and airconditioning was a major ingredient :)

Now where do we go for our salad when in Manila? I used to love the Oriental Chicken salad at CPK, but they changed the recipe. Then, some years back, we discovered the salads at Cyma, the Greek restaurant at Shangri-la Mall and at Trinoma.

This is my all time favorite: Roka Salata

Pulled Chicken Meat

For people who want to eat healthy food, preparing them may be the factor that inhibits them.

One should be able to enjoy salads with pulled meat from chicken that had been roasted, smoked, barbecued, cooked in turbo, steamed etc. You can cook in bulk and prepare them, packed in small quantities, frozen and ready to use for salads or for chicken sandwich spreads :)

The use of the bones will be another post...
