Burger King’s New Chicken King Sells Out in Just Two Weeks!

At Burger King, everything on the menu receives a royal treatment worthy of a crown. From making the iconic flame-grilled Whopper to breathing new life to its sides, to making plant-based meals hip and exciting–Burger King is a kingdom where great food rules.

But BK is always on the lookout to expand its territory, and with the rising calls of chicken lovers, the royal court of BK could only give another staple the royal treatment it is due.

Introducing Burger King’s Chicken King!

In a royal dinner hosted by Burger King Philippines at its Ortigas Roosevelt store, the burger chain celebrated the much-awaited arrival of the newest chicken sandwich player in town–Chicken King.

“We are delighted that Chicken King is finally here in the Philippines and it’s ready to rule the taste buds of every Filipino,” said John Velasco, Country General Manager of Burger King Philippines.

“Fans of chicken sandwiches can now indulge in Burger King’s Chicken King where they’ll feel like royalty with every bite,” he added.

And indulge they have, as Burger King announced that Chicken King sold out within a mere two weeks after its initial salvo on July 26. “In fact, we didn’t expect for it to be this big of a hit. We were astounded by the warm reception that Filipinos have given Chicken King when it first became available in our restaurants, resulting in our limited stocks for the next few weeks,” Velasco pronounced.

But what is there about this Chicken King?

As every royalty needs its loyal subjects, Chicken King boasts off bold flavors and hefty portions that will surely fulfill the desires of its discerning audience, making it worthy of its title “king”.

Chicken King is made with golden whole muscle chicken thigh that is incredibly meaty, juicy, and flavorful. It is marinated in various spices long enough to give the meat irresistible bold flavors, cooked to golden brown perfection for a mouthful of crispy goodness.

Of course, Burger King will not miss the fresh veggies! Juicy tomato and crispy lettuce wraps around the flavorful patty and brings out the freshness to balance out the sandwich’s flavor. It is also topped with smooth and creamy mayonnaise dressing that gives the sandwich a complete tasty bite.

Meanwhile, perfectly sandwiching the crisp and flavorful ingredients are soft buttery potato buns, which give off a unique and satisfying “melt-in-your-mouth” sensation.

One of the first guests who tried Chicken King left a note at the restaurant which said, “I like the flavor of the chicken. It’s very crispy and juicy!” Another guest feedback also said, “Everything about this sandwich works–from the bun to the thickness of the chicken.”

“All our guests, who are the real kings, deserve to be treated like royalty which is why we went all out with perfecting the Chicken King to suit the Filipino’s taste buds, allowing them to indulge and satisfy their kingly cravings with bold flavors coupled with bolder portions,” added Velasco.

With Chicken King selling out fast, make sure to get your hands on it the soonest you can! Chicken King is currently available in all Mega Manila, Pampanga, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, and Bulacan BK restaurants. Hop on the bandwagon to bestow your judgment and crown the true King yourself!

The Peninsula Manila Relaunches “Naturally Peninsula”

For the past 15 years, The Peninsula Manila has offered Naturally Peninsula, a collection of health-conscious and delectable menu options for guests dining at its restaurants. This year, as part of the Peninsula-wide Life Lived Best initiative, however, Naturally Peninsula has been relaunched with a new focus on plant-based cuisine.

Xavier Castello, Executive Chef of The Peninsula Manila

“Supporting the health of our guests, deliciously, has always been the mission of Naturally Peninsula,” says Xavier Castello, Executive Chef of The Peninsula Manila. “But now we are setting ourselves a higher goal – to support the health of the planet, as well.”

Naturally Peninsula Soba Noodle Salad

The new plant-based dishes – which use locally sourced produce, nutritious oils, and non-refined sugars – reflect The Peninsula Manila’s (and her sister hotels in Asia, Europe, and the United States) ongoing commitment to increased sustainability. By prioritizing meat-free, organically, and naturally-produced ingredients from local producers and suppliers, the Naturally Peninsula offerings aim to simultaneously benefit the hotel’s local communities and reduce its collective environmental footprint.

START THE DAY RIGHT

The Peninsula Manila highlights breakfast as the meal where it offers most of its Naturally Peninsula dishes. “We believe that having a healthy and nutrition-packed meal is a great way to start the day,” says Executive Chef Castello. “These healthy breakfast items can be paired with our healthy green smoothies which change from day-to-day and are known as ‘Our Daily Greens’”.

Naturally Peninsula Zambales Mangoes and Oats Pancake (with blueberry compote)

Breakfast at The Lobby includes an excellent selection of both sweet and savory plant-based dishes including Tofu Scramble Burrito (spinach, kale and brussels sprouts), Avocado Toast (avocado mash, mesclun, shaved radish, cucumber roll on homemade sourdough bread) and a Poached Pear Salad (cherry tomato, basil, olive, mesclun, and sprouts topped with Mandarin orange vinaigrette), and Zambales Mangoes and Oats Pancake (with blueberry compote), to name just a handful.

EAT RIGHT THE REST OF THE DAY

All-day dining at The Lobby, In-Room Dining and the à la carte menu at The Pool Snack Bar offers a cornucopia of dishes predominantly prepared using local ingredients, including Beetroot Carpaccio (grapefruit, candied walnuts, and radish), Soba Noodle Salad (edamame, carrots, cucumber, radish, Mandarin oranges, sesame-ginger dressing), Kimchi Brown Rice Bowl (malunggay or moringa, nori and scallions), Mushrooms al Ajillo (cauliflower purée, garlic confit, and chili oil), Oven-roasted Bukidnon Pineapple (served with compote, locally-grown lacatan banana-passion sorbet, pineapple chips), Citrus Carpaccio (mango sorbet, lime granité, and a lemon curd cigar), and an Orange Polenta Cake (topped with honey syrup).

Naturally Peninsula Tempe Goreng (pan-seared tempeh, garlic, coriander, turmeric, and sambal)

The Peninsula Manila’s Spices restaurant has long been known for its Southeast Asian cuisine, most especially for its vegetarian and plant-based options which cater to guests who have strict dietary restrictions and who love savoury yet nutritious meals. But with the Naturally Peninsula iteration, all dishes are MSG-free and only low-sodium soy sauce is used in recipes that call for its inclusion. Purely plant-based selections include Pak Boong Fai deng (Thai wok-fried water spinach with yellow beans, chili, and light soy), Cauliflower Tikka Masala (roasted cauliflowerwith tomato, garam masala, coriander, and paprika), and Tempe Goreng (pan-seared tempeh, garlic, coriander, turmeric, and sambal).

At the hotel’s popular all-day buffet restaurant Escolta, a salad bar offers a selection of fresh vegetables with healthy dressings. For those with a sweet tooth, homemade dairy-free ice cream made with raw sugar will soon be made available at the restaurant.

When it comes to the famed Peninsula Afternoon Tea at The Lobby, Watermelon Gazpacho with Grilled Cucumber Tofu Skewers, Ratatouille Parcels with Onion Chutney, Calamansi Bar, Baked Cream with Exotic Fruit Caramel, and their homemade Cranberry Scones with Lemon Curd and sugar-free Lichi-Strawberry jam are just some of the healthy and tasty goodies on offer.

In the pipeline at The Peninsula Boutique are a selection of egg-and dairy-free pastries and cakes, as well as homemade kombucha.

PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Promoting health and wellness is a core principle of The Peninsula Manila. Now, more than ever, with the ongoing global crisis, sustainable health and wellness has become increasingly important, and so relaunching Naturally Peninsula is even more relevant.

Naturally Peninsula Beetroot Carpaccio (grapefruit, candied walnuts, and radish)

“With this new wellness program, we hope to break new ground in helping our guests to maximize their health and well-being while also helping to contribute to the local farming economy,” Executive Chef Castello says in closing. “We want to do our part to support local farms by partnering and sharing with them our Naturally Peninsula philosophy and purchase fresh, local, and quality produce that my team and I can use for cooking and seasoning.”

The Peninsula Manila’s Naturally Peninsula offerings are an invitation and opportunity for guests to take time to take care of themselves, their communities, and the environment – concerns which are of paramount importance, especially today.

Since opening its world-renowned bakery in BGC in 2018, M Bakery has provided freshly-baked classic American desserts to discerning Filipino foodies. In just four years, M Bakery has established itself as a dessert staple for Filipino celebrations and day-to-day sweet-tooth indulgences.

M Bakery brought a taste of New York to Manila, selling over a million units of its bestsellers such as the signature cupcakes and world-famous banana pudding. M Bakery attributes its success in Manila to its old-fashioned philosophy of “baking from scratch, in small batches, and using only the finest ingredients.” This winning formula, coupled with local creativity, produced exclusive Pinoy flavors such as the ube cupcakes, calamansi cheesecake, and Chocnut Banana Pudding alongside signature New York faves like the Carrie vanilla cupcake, blueberry jamboree and banana pudding.

M Bakery now has two branches, BGC and Rockwell Powerplant Mall, and continues to expand its dessert menu to delight its loyal customers.

To mark its fourth anniversary this August, M Bakery introduces four new dessert creations as its way of saying “thank you” to its loyal fans. Let’s start with not one, but two new featured pudding flavors as M Bakery’s Flavors of the Month!

Orange Cream Soda Pudding

Orange Cream Soda Pudding

Bursting with refreshing orange flavors (and bits) in every bite.

Introducing M Bakery’s Orange Cream Soda Pudding, the perfect sweet and tangy dessert combining orange juice, vanilla wafers and mandarin oranges with their famous vanilla pudding.

Replacing bananas this time with zesty and sweet mandarin oranges, this unique twist to the best-selling pudding is a surefire hit that will remind you of orange-flavored popsicles.

This spectacular dessert can be enjoyed in different sizes: small (PhP 165), medium (PhP 315), large (PhP 505). You may also place an advance order for party bowls: small party bowl serves eight (PhP 2,200) and large party bowl serves 20 (PhP 3,250).

S’mores Banana Pudding

Who wouldn’t want s’mores of these desserts?

M Bakery takes s’mores to another level, creating a new campfire-worthy treat: The S’mores Banana Pudding. Chocolate pudding is layered with graham crackers, marshmallow fluff, marshmallows, bananas and, just to sweeten the deal a bit more, a generous serving of chocolate chips! It’s gooey, melty and chocolatey.

It is available for the whole month of August and comes in three sizes: small (PhP 155), medium (PhP 305), large (PhP 395). You may also place an advance order for party bowls: small party bowl serves 8 (PhP 2,200) and large party bowl serves 20 (PhP 3,250).

Banana Pudding Cookie

Banana Pudding Cookie

M Bakery transforms its iconic banana pudding into a new dessert: the Banana Pudding Cookie.

This handmade cookie has all the taste of the cult-favorite banana pudding, packed with white chocolate chips, vanilla wafers, and M Bakery’s famous Banana Pudding mix.

Enjoy it on its own or paired with banana pudding. It also goes well with M Bakery’s freshly-brewed coffee. Each Banana Pudding Cookie sells at PhP 120 apiece.

Fully Loaded Icebox Pie

Double down on that chocolate fixation with M Bakery’s brand-new icebox pie. This decadent cool treat makes use of two of your favorite chocolate candy bars: the crunchy classic Kitkat and the creamy melt-in-your mouth Milky Way.

Truly loaded for dessert lovers, this chocolatey double fudge brownie crust is layered with slightly tangy cream cheese filling, rich fudge icing and topped with all the fixings anyone can dream of – whipped cream, caramel drizzle, mini chocolate chips, chopped Kit Kat bars, and chunks of Milky Way bars.

Their range of fluffy, warm bread and cakes, as well as well-loved fast food dishes, have been the community’s choice when selecting what they would like to have for breakfast, merienda, celebrations and other occasions.

Cindys won the hearts and taste buds of a larger community as it transformed into a full restaurant where they offered their best-selling chicken barbeque and palabok. Their line “The Place to Be” etched an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of every Filipino.

Cindys eventually expanded to the rest of Luzon with their bakery products, charming Filipinos with a fresh and delicious range of quality breads, cakes, pastries, and other ready-to-eat food products.
