For foodies who truly are into the rich flavors of traditional Chinese fare, The Original Chicken Fandian in Manila is a familiar destination. This humble establishment, which originally hailed from Chinatown and is now located in Paco, sets itself apart as the esteemed birthplace of the renowned Binondo fried chicken.
The simple eatery has since expanded its reach and ventured into a new location within Araneta City, becoming a welcome addition to the array of dining options at the New Gateway Mall 2.
It is the latest to open at the Palenque, a Filipino theme-food arena featuring some of the most sought-after chefs and restaurateurs from across the country. And with its culinary legacy, Chicken Fandian effortlessly blends into the delectable flair of this new dining emporium in Araneta City.
The diners’ view, apart from the appetizing dishes, is a history wall that narrates the fascinating story of Chicken Fandian. It tells the store’s inspiring story of love and family — with Chicken Fandian established by Albert Uy, a visionary entrepreneur and son of Chinese immigrants who arrived in the country bearing the exquisite culinary treasures of their homeland.
Chicken Fandian is indeed a cultural and gastronomic peek at the Uy’s heritage and legacy. It brings to Araneta City diners the dishes that food explorers love to visit in Manila such as the iconic Fried Chicken and an enticing selection of delicacies such as Kikiam, Pato Misua, Quekiam, and Oyster Cake.
