Mang Inasal hailed as ‘best-tasting chicken inasal’ in the Philippines

Mang Inasal   Chicken Inasal is recognized by Filipinos as the best-tasting grilled chicken in the country, based on a recent imagery survey conducted by a third-party market research agency. Held from November to December 2022, the nationwide study asked 800 consumers which grilled chicken they consider best-tasting, among other characteristics. Results showed that over 90% of the respondents pointed to Mang Inasal for having the best-tasting grilled chicken among 40 other brands the consumers were aware of.   “It’s inspiring to know that the people appreciate what we have been working hard for at Mang Inasal for the past 20 years -- which is to give our customers the best-tasting Chicken Inasal every day,” said Mang Inasal Business Unit head Mike V. Castro. “This will surely keep us going in serving more Ihaw-Sarap meals and Unli-Saya moments to all our customers.”     To mark this special milestone, a new  video advertisement  was produced, featuring Mang Inasal’s long-time brand am

Family Day at the #AlaskaUltimateAdventureCamp













Few Sundays ago, we were invited to a family day by Alaska to join their Ultimate Camp Adventure at SMX Convention Center. I primed the kids that they have to complete the missions so they can receive a medal and goodies. But the next morning, the usual scenario prior to events, they woke up late and the rest was history.

Despite the cumbersome registration at the booth, we still opted to go inside because I was really curious of what’s instore. The event was open to public so a lot of mommies and daddies bought their kids to experience the ultimate adventure camp prepared by Alaska. We were given a checklist of booths to accomplish and a shirt and cap for the kids.

After a small quick lunch, we headed for the adventure camp. Upon entering the convention center, I was quite surprised by the number of people inside! It was literally packed with people! The lines and queuing at all stations were long.

The kids initially lined up for the first mission but the lines were just extremely long that my cranky kids couldn’t stand. So we opted for the art stations first, the made cut out masks from the milk kartons and colored a picture and got them a badge. Third stop was memory game where they need to pair pictures. They were rewarded with Alaska drinks to keep the energy in accomplishing the different missions at the stations.

We also went to the food booth because I got curious on how they do matcha drink out of Alaska products. The Chef demonstrated the procedure on how to do it and said that we could use the recipe for occasions or we can even use it for business!

While the activities was ongoing in the different stations, there were programs, storytelling, recipe tutorials as well giving out of prizes courtesy of Alaska of course.

The kids’ next stop was the maze wherein they will do a lot of activities inside including pitball, balancing and assimilation of being a princess and superhero. It was really fun and I can see that all the kids had so much fun.

And for our last stop was the Marvel Camp. The kids have actually option whether to choose Marvel o Frozen camp. But since I had to take the two of them, we opt for one queuing only. The kids were already sleepy and cranky. They took their photos for their ID photo, which we failed to claim by the way due to the load of photos that needs to be printed during that day.

I am just glad that it was our turn before the kids could push my limits due to crankiness. But as the moment they enter the station, their eyes literally widened and twinkled. Their face shows pure happiness. They get to jump their hearts out at the humungous inflated playard and balanced their way through the roller blades. And went on detective and passed through a small and short tunnel and on to their last adventure wherein they went up the monkey bar and crossed a rope bridge and slide their way down to the ginormous slide. After completing all those, they were given a badge for accomplishing their missions.





Again, we are thankful for Alaska for the event and for inviting us to be part of it. My kids and I had so much fun despite the aching back after babywearing the youngest for 8 long hours! The kids get to put their overflowing energy to a purpose and went home with their Alaska bag of goodies.


Finally got their badges! 

The event was a success and I just have to congratulate Alaska for letting the kids experience a once in a lifetime day of fun and, I just had to let out my thoughts and observations about it.

Most of the parents were the ones who don’t follow the rules. They let their kids insert into the middle of long queuing. They were given instructions to return the laser pointer at the end of the mission camp but most of them let the kids KEEP it into their pockets. It was a public event so it was also expected that there will be pushing because it was an event for kids. There were also a lot of trash thrown in the middle of convention centers and if were not for cleaners, the event place will be a lot of mess.

But overall, it was so much fun and had it be repeated again the following year, we will surely attend again. My kids have been bugging me to go again.
