All Things Chicken – Ortego’s Deli & Foomanchoo

We were invited to join the Foodie Get Together at Ortego’s hosted by Ortego’s Deli & Foomanchoo. We have also tasted their chicken menu with the theme All things Chicken.

The food rundown included some of the new items on the menu as well. My favorite amongst the appetizers were Chicken Spring Rolls i-e Minced chicken with celery, carrot, onions, cheese, and garlic vinegar sauce & Chicken Binakol Soup with coconut juice and chicken and green papaya. I love the taste and warmth the dish has to offer. The sauce presented with spring rolls was addictive.

They then arrived Light dishes or starters, all in chicken. My favorite was butter milf fried chicken with mushroom sauce; it was yummy. Crispy buffalo wings were tasty though not crispy; they are slightly over drenched with adobo sauce. Dynamite chicken is our 2nd recommended starter but ensures to enjoy it while it’s warm or you will feel hard at the middle.

Then comes the Main course. We tried four items, and here is our review:

Chicken Tower, a must-try! Ortego’s famous barbeque chicken grilled to perfection with unlimited white rice. TENDER & JUICY. If you are a fan of rice then we would recommend trying Hainanese Rice with Chicken, it is mild yet delicious. Ortego Chicken Inasaal is slightly sweet for my tastebuds yet appetizing. Crispy chicken thigh with garlic/mushroom gravy looked lovely in presentation and is mouth-watering.

So the night was all about Filipino cuisine & friendly service. Ortego is a modern take on Filipino cuisine in the UAE. At Foomanchoo, (Asian cuisine) they ensure fast delivery for the orders. In dine-in, the waiting time was a bit longer; their servings (food portions) are quite generous. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
