Kettle Chips' Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese... Oh my lord! It's everything you'd ever want in a chip!
Pizza in Manila: Nuccio's
markcohen: I have visited Nuccio's at least 5 times since you featured it and I have grown to appreciate it more and more. You're so right about the pastas too! So I'm anxiously awaiting your next Manila pizza review. Any tips in the meantime?

I am pleased to announce that they now serve pizzas in Cibo Shang Mall too! I had the squash blossom-topped one and it was amazing.

I just had lunch there and had their quattro stagioni pizza. Oh my gosh! You were so right. The crust was perfect...it had that rich wood-fire flavor and had just the right density. The sauce was sumptuously tomato-ey without being too tart and the toppings were generous. Best of all, the price was right! It was just as much as a pizza hut pizza would cost for the same size. Their pastas weren't remarkable though.

I am a Filipina who lives and works in Manila, Makati even, and consider myself a serious foodie. And I am smacking myself for not having discovered Nuccio's! I'm running over there right now and having myself some real pizza. Thanks!

All right, that's it! I'm stopping by Cibo tomorrow. There are two branches that're less than fifteen minutes away from my place and I really should make it a point to eat there more often.

To all Manila pizza lovers.......here is the second review on Cibo pizza:
http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2007/08/pizza-in-manila-cibo.html
Can't wait to start hearing your feedback on this great pizza......but as far as I know only available at the Rockwell branch.

jhermano: Bravo's is good, very thin crust and good sauce, decent cheese......but they use local flour instead of italian 00 which definitely puts it down a notch. I eat at the one on Dela Costa in Salcedo near my office. As for Hayahay, I am good friends with the owners of Lab-As, in fact 2 weeks ago we had a big surf and turf dinner, I brought the beef from manila and they supplied the lobster from Bais. I live in California/Manila so eating pizza at Hayahay is not necessarily on my list of things to do....although i have had it in the past when i was really hard up! By the way, the pizza at Grappa's is not bad, but also uses local flour.

I love the "Dirty Chips" brand but they are hard to find and very expensive. They are the best that I've had

Used to be Clover Club potato chips -- does anyone else remember the commercial where the Clover Club Lady talks about hand-filling the chip bags? Actually, I hated that commercial, but loved the chips!
Pizza in Manila: Nuccio's
Greetings from the Philippines. I'm surprised I missed this post since I'm a pizza fan and Slice has been on my reader for a while. Thanks for the heads up on Nuccio's, I've never heard of it but will surely try it the next chance i get. I usually get my pizza fix in a restaurant called Bravo's which has a very thin crust and as mentioned above CPK. I also frequent Dumaguete a lot and if you are ever there again you might want to try their pies at Hayahay which are ok for the area. Can't wait for the next review. Mabuhay to the other Filipino readers.

Generally available: Utz wins. Plain is good but I also like their honey barbecue.
When I travel to central PA I usually load up the car. There are tons of, um, "microchipperies" (is that a word?) there. Many are cooked in lard which gives a unique texture and flavor. Gibbles, Goods, Kay and Ray's, someone already mentioned dieffenbach's.
Kay and Ray's has a Dark chips. Not burnt. Really tasty.

Any flavor Zapps, most brands of Vinegar and Salt flavored chips (bonus points if they make me cough or catch my breath when I smell the bag) and, I don't know if any of you might consider them chips, but in Louisiana, fresh cracklings are KING. I love eating them like chips. As for tortilla chips, I make my own and you can't beat that.

Pop into Trader Joe's and pick up a bag of their blue chips. You'll be licking your fingers and stabbing at the bottom of the bag until every last crumb is gone!

All time favorite: Old Dutch Sour Cream & Onion.
Otherwise, I like Old Dutch Kettle Chips...either salt & vinegar or jalapeño & chedder..Old Dutch Dill Pickle (which is basically salt & vinegar chips with dill...you love'em or hate'em) and for pure experimentation, Archer Farms (Target Brand) has some very good "gourmet flavors"

I'm a fan of kettle chips.
I also love Terra Red Bliss Olive Oil, Roasted Garlic & Parmesan Potato Chips but I don't buy them very often becuase I'm likely to eat the entire bag.

If you get a box lunch at Honey Baked Ham, they offer a great chip--Cape Cod--I think. For dipping, Ruffels is a plus. And for every day snacking or go with anything and everything chip, you cant beat good ol' greasy Jay's. Lays-- any kind runs a close second 'tho.

For ana5678: sorry was in Dumaguete on vacation eating seafood for 2 weeks! back in Manila now and good to hear you are enjoying Nuccio's pastas. Make sure and try his homemade fresh spinach ravioli with tomato sauce, also his spaghetti carbonara with real pancetta. After next review more to come........

Kettle Chips brand - Thai flavor. Also, big thumbs up for the Cheddar Beer flavor.
Cape Cod brand - Jalapeno Cheddar. Awesomely delicious.
I'd also like to second the Walker's Roast Chicken flavored crisps. Yummy!

I know that Kettle makes "Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt" Chips", but there's an organic brand at my store...DOH! can't remember the name, but they are pretty fantastic.
I also remember the first time I ever ate Cape Cod chips, they are dang yummy too...
Is there anyone who like the Dill Pickle flavor of chips? I think they are vile.
Um, in college, I ate a LOT of Chili Cheese Fritos. Very tasty, but very hard on the waistline AND heart. Don't mock me. I know they're not "potato" chips, but jeez.

Nothing can compare with Martin's Kettle Cook'd Potato Chips. They're not distributed nationally, but they can be found in East central Pennsylvania. They're in a plain white bag with red letters. www.martinschips.com
