Review: Chicks ni Otit (Tagaytay, Philippines)


I celebrated my birthday in Tagaytay with the fam. So after checking in at Hotel Kimberly, we went out for lunch. I was asking the elders if there's any restaurant they want to try and my mother said she wants to check out Chicks ni Otit. Apparently, it's popular among vloggers as it is a restaurant owned by comedian Wilma Doesnt.

Chicks ni Otit is located along Mahogany Avenue. Just 10 minutes away from Hotel Kimberly. It's claim to fame is - they are a 5 star carinderia. And probably they are. It's a non-airconditioned restaurant with ample seat and a really good ambiance. The decor is very Filipino. The place is breezy and comfortable and is really a place to have good, hearty meal with the family.

The place is packed when we arrived and we had to wait to be seated. Okay lang naman because the staff is really nice and efficient. We didn't wait that long.

We ordered Barkada Set 2 (1790 PHP), Family Bundle B (3010 PHP), Sinantolan ng Quezon (300 PHP) and Pancit Canton (320 PHP). Both ala-carte meals are requested by Mila.

Sinigang sa Miso Tuna Belly
Sizzling Sisig
Tokwa't Kangkong in Otits Sauce
Ensaladang Talong w/ Mangga Bagoong

Barkada Set 2 includes all dishes above plus Plain/Fried Rice and an Iced Tea Pitcher. To be honest, I think this should've been enough for our family of 8 adults and 3 kids. But I of course I still got another set meal.

All of the dishes are really good. 

I love the sinigang na tuna belly. Hindi tinipid ang sahog. 

I am a sisig fan and proud to say theirs did not disappoint. It is your typical oily, crispy uber-yummy sisig dish.

The tokwa't kangkong and ensaladang talong is a hit with the elders who just love veggies!

Sinigang na Hipon
Grilled Liempo
Large Deep-Fried Boneless Bangus and Tokwa't Kangkong in Otits Sauce
Whole Deep-Fried Chicken
Caldereta

Family Bundle B includes all dishes above plus Ensaladang Talong w/ Mangga Bagoong, Plain/Fried Rice and a 1.5L Softdrinks.

The Caldereta and Bangus are probably my favorite in this set meal. I did not quite like the liempo but it was okay. Sinigang na hipon is also good and considering the price, madami syang hipon. At hindi yung maliliit na hipon ah. So sulit sya talaga.

Pancit Canton
Sinantolan ng Quezon

My mother's sole request is the sinantolan. Napanood daw nya sa vlog so she wants to try. I didn't get to try it because I them serve it near my mother but considering hindi umabot sa akin yung sinantolan probably means masarap sya.

Overall experience is really good. I paid around 6,000 PHP. Alam kong hindi nakaka-carinderia ang binayaran ko pero halos kalahati nyan eh pinabalot namin at naiuwi pa. I think I got carried away with ordering too much. It is very seldom that we go on a trip as a family. And most especially, bihira makasama ang mama ko because of my baby brother kaya tinodo ko na ang pag-order.

Definitely, it is a place we'd go back to. A favorite in Tagaytay.
