Classic Savory Restaurant
It was my first time to dine in at Classic Savory, located at Centrio Ayala Mall when I was invited to attend a product launching of a beauty product. The foods was served before the product presentation. I just love their house specialty which is the tender and juicy classic Savory chicken with pancit and lumpiang shanghai. They have a solo and share size for this menu.
I searched about this history of Classic Savory and I found out that it was owned by the Ting brothers who established their livelihood by putting up a “panciteria” in Quiapo. They began to discover other dishes they could serve their customers and they were able to create a special recipe for fried chicken and gravy.
It became so popular not just members of the local Chinese community came to partake of the special tasty, juicy and tender chicken treat but also a number of Filipinos who would come to the tiny restaurant with their families to “savor” this “savory” fried chicken dish.
And thus the popular Savory Chicken House was born and its first branch opened in Escolta. The menu soon expanded to include other Filipino and Chinese dishes. Now, the third generation of the Ting family who launched Savory is re-launching the brand via the Classic Savory mall outlets so that more of the younger generations can continue to savor the tasty, juicy and tender fried chicken and other popular Chinese dishes.
