The Birth Of Savory Chicken House
Classic Savory has come a long way from its humble beginnings, but it never fails to provide the original Savory casual dining experience to its customers. The end of World War II gave hope not only to Filipinos, but also to the founders, the Ting Brothers. While starting a new life and establishing their livelihood, the brothers put up a “panciteria” in the busy district of Quiapo in 1950.
Over time, the small panciteria serving mainly lomi grew in popularity and started offering other dishes to its growing number of customers. The brothers discovered and created a special recipe for fried chicken and gravy, which also became popular. Members of the local Chinese community and a number of Filipinos came with their families to enjoy the savory fried chicken dish.
The news about the tasty, juicy, and tender chicken spread quickly.The popular Savory Chicken House was born and its first branch opened in Escolta. The management soon added other Filipino and Chinese dishes to the menu. These include noodles, soups, rice meals, drinks, and desserts.
