When it comes to fried chicken, there’s no doubt that one of the tastiest around is KFC’s Original Recipe chicken. For 45 so good years, Filipinos have been thoroughly enjoying a secret recipe that has been passed on from generations to generations which we owe to the iconic Colonel Sanders who is actually the original celebrity chef.
On May 30, 2012, bloggers and people from the media gathered at Diamond Hotel for an important announcement. In Louisville, Kentucky, a secret manuscript written by the Colonel himself was discovered. It contains not only pages of his life story, but also a collection of 35 of his most treasured recipes.

Whew, it has already been a week since my last food blog. This is mainly caused by my preparations even before my leave of absence which started Friday – I went to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia.
Yes, I just got back to the Philippines and is still fresh from the airport.
Ice Cream 'Potong'
Before I proceed with the day, I would just like to let you know that I’m still alive and eating. 🙂 And due to my recent trip to Kota Kinabalu, expect a number of Malaysian cuisine features for the upcoming months of November and December.
It would be as varied as the Malaysian spices. From the traditional Nasi Lemak (top right photo) to the local Potong Ice Cream.
You’ll also be seeing the Kota Kinabalu versions of common place commercial food establishments like McDo and KFC; and from their local favorite Chicken Curry to Itik Instant noodles (top left photos).
