And, it’s also a plus point that Oh My Chicken and Make Your Own Cafe are both very budget-friendly so anyone, from students, to yuppies, to moms and dads can enjoy their offerings anytime without the guilt of spending.

Taiwanese chicken from Oh My Chicken
Specializing in Taiwanese snacks, Oh My Chicken brings to Manila traditional Taiwanese street food like Chicken Steak and Chicken Popcorn, along with more deep-fried goodness with their Oh My Chicken Leg, Oh My Chicken Wing, and the spicy honey flavored Crispy Fresh Squid, plus of course, delicious drinks.

The Oh My Chicken Steak and Oh My Chicken Popcorn, however, are the flagship products of the store and are also the certified crowd-favorites. These deep-fried store specialties whose recipes are traditionally Taiwanese are cooked to be golden crispy on the outside, but sinfully juicy in the inside.

And, of course, can it be a Taiwanese snack place if there’s no milk tea? Taiwan, after all, is the birthplace of everyone’s favorite boba tea or most commonly known as milk tea. Oh My Chicken offers an irresistible Black Sugar Series—get to choose between an option of Black Sugar Milk Tea and, for classic green tea lovers, the Black Sugar Green Milk Tea, which is made from fresh tea leaves that come all the way from Taiwan.

They also offer a Fresh Milk Series in Black Sugar, Strawberry, and Matcha flavors, as well as a Fruit Tea Series, and a Mango Series.

But here’s the best part. With all these flavorful offerings, Oh My Chicken keeps their items accessible for everyone by keeping their prices super affordable. You’ll be surprised (but glad) to know that nothing in their menu goes beyond P148, with their Milk Teas only costing P88 for a regular size, and P98 for large. The Oh My Chicken Steak, which also comes in two sizes, starts at only P78 for regular, while the Oh My Chicken Popcorn starts at P88.

Milk tea with unlimited sinkers from Make Your Own Cafe
Being one of the first in the country to offer unli-sinkers in their drinks, Make Your Own Cafe is the perfect place for the people who love chewing on sinkers and savoring the actual milk tea. You read that right, you can get your choice of unlimited sinkers in your drink at this newly-opened cafe!
For only an additional price of PHP 20, you can choose from the eight different sinkers that Make Your Own Cafe (or MYO) has to offer. You can either choose to fill up your cup with just one type of sinker, or you can choose to get a little bit of everything. The freedom is yours! Just a tip, try their original (and handmade!) boba pearls–it’s unlike anything you’ve ever tried before. It’s soft, chewy, and best of all is there are no preservatives or coloring!
MYO offers a huge variety of drinks: from the classic milk teas, fruit teas, frappes, lattes, and their original artisanal soda. You might just find your newest favorite drink here!
But what are good drinks without amazing food to pair it with? MYO also serves delicious snacks that will go best with your choice of beverage. Their original recipes of chicken pops, quesadillas, nachos, and fries will surely get your appetite going.
If you’re in the mood for something a bit sweeter, you can opt to try one of their tasty cakes and pastries.
MYO is still currently in the process of expanding its menu; adding new food items such as pasta and rice meals.
